図8は、本実施例の処置用内視鏡を用いて胃壁500の全層切除処置を行う一例の第1段階を示しており、中間部本体4に設けられた処置具突出口43から内視鏡用の針状高周波処置具300等を突出させて、胃内側から胃壁500に小さな穿孔501を形成する。   FIG. 8 shows a first stage of an example of performing full-thickness resection of the stomach wall 500 using the treatment endoscope of the present embodiment, and shows the first stage from the treatment tool protrusion 43 provided in the intermediate body 4. A small needle 501 is formed in the stomach wall 500 from the inside of the stomach by projecting the needle-like high-frequency treatment instrument 300 or the like for endoscope.

次いで胃内において、図9に示されるように、針状高周波処置具300に代えて、内視鏡用高周波処置具の一つである高周波スネア400を処置具突出口43から突出させる。高周波スネア400は、ワイヤ電極401の先端にワイヤループ402を備えている。   Next, in the stomach, as shown in FIG. 9, a high-frequency snare 400 that is one of the endoscope high-frequency treatment instruments is projected from the treatment instrument projection port 43 instead of the needle-like high-frequency treatment instrument 300. The high-frequency snare 400 includes a wire loop 402 at the tip of the wire electrode 401.

そして、図10に示されるように、湾曲部3の屈曲操作と高周波スネア400の突出操作等により、高周波スネア400のワイヤループ402を電極係合部71に係合させる。具体的には、電極係合部71の括れ部71aにワイヤループ402を引っ掛け、内視鏡外に露出するワイヤ電極401を弛みのない緊張状態にする。   Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the wire loop 402 of the high frequency snare 400 is engaged with the electrode engaging portion 71 by the bending operation of the bending portion 3 and the protruding operation of the high frequency snare 400. Specifically, the wire loop 402 is hooked on the constricted portion 71a of the electrode engaging portion 71, and the wire electrode 401 exposed to the outside of the endoscope is brought into a tension state without slack.

その状態を保って、第2湾曲部5等を動作させて、図1に示されるように、先端部本体2を穿孔501から胃壁500の裏面側に突き出させ、ワイヤ電極401に高周波電流を通電することにより、ワイヤ電極401と接触する胃壁500が高周波焼灼により切断され、切断箇所を移動させていくことにより胃壁500の全層切除を行うことができる。   With this state maintained, the second bending portion 5 and the like are operated to cause the distal end body 2 to protrude from the perforation 501 to the back side of the stomach wall 500 as shown in FIG. By doing so, the stomach wall 500 in contact with the wire electrode 401 is cut by high-frequency cauterization, and the entire layer of the stomach wall 500 can be excised by moving the cut portion.

その際に、先端部本体2の先端に設けられた電極係合部71にワイヤ電極401の先端のワイヤループ402が係合した状態を保つことにより、ワイヤ電極401が振らつかない。したがって、安全かつ円滑に切除処置を行うことができる。   At this time, the wire electrode 401 does not shake by keeping the wire loop 402 at the tip of the wire electrode 401 engaged with the electrode engaging portion 71 provided at the tip of the tip portion main body 2. Therefore, the resection treatment can be performed safely and smoothly.

また、先端部本体2に設けられた側方視用観察窓21もワイヤ電極401に対し機械的にがっちりと固定された状態になるので、切除対象部位に対して振らつかない。したがって、切除部位を常に確実に観察しながら安全かつ円滑に切除処置を行うことができる。   Further, the side-viewing observation window 21 provided on the distal end portion main body 2 is also mechanically firmly fixed to the wire electrode 401, so that it does not swing with respect to the excision target site. Therefore, the resection can be performed safely and smoothly while always observing the resection site with certainty.

そして、中間部本体4に設けられている前方斜視用観察窓41を通して胃壁500の表面側の状態を観察することができるだけでなく、先端部本体2に設けられている側方視用観察窓21を通して、胃壁500の裏面側の血管の走行状態等も観察しながら安全に切除処置等を行うことができる。   Then, not only can the state of the surface side of the stomach wall 500 be observed through the front perspective observation window 41 provided in the intermediate body 4, but also the side viewing observation window 21 provided in the distal body 2. Through this, it is possible to safely perform excision and the like while observing the running state of the blood vessel on the back side of the stomach wall 500.
