Description

本発明は腹腔鏡下手術に使用できる手技圧検知デバイスと、その手技圧検知デバイスを利用した手技訓練システムと、腹腔鏡下手術支援システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a technique pressure detection device that can be used for laparoscopic surgery, a technique training system using the technique pressure detection device, and a laparoscopic surgery support system.

腹腔鏡下手術は、腹腔内に炭酸ガスを注入して腹壁(体壁)A(図9)を膨らませて内部空間Bを確保し、腹壁Aにあけた孔から内部空間B内にトロカール(トロッカー)Cを挿入し、一つのトロッカーCに腹腔鏡(一般的にはCCDカメラ)Dを、他のトロッカーCに鉗子、メス等の手術器具Eを差込み、腹腔鏡Dで撮影した映像を信号処理器Fで処理して画像モニタGの画面に表示し、その映像を観察しながら手術を行うのが一般的である(例えば特許文献1、2)。   In laparoscopic surgery, carbon dioxide is injected into the abdominal cavity to inflate the abdominal wall (body wall) A (FIG. 9) to secure an internal space B, and a trocar (trocar in the internal space B through a hole made in the abdominal wall A. ) Insert C, insert a laparoscope (generally a CCD camera) D into one trocar C, insert surgical instruments E such as forceps and scalpel into the other trocar C, and process the video taken with the laparoscope D It is common to perform the operation while observing the image by processing with the instrument F and displaying it on the screen of the image monitor G (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

特許第5975504号公報Japanese Patent No. 5975504 特開2013−179998号公報JP 2013-179998 A

腹腔鏡下手術ではトロッカーC内に通した手術器具Fを、トロッカーCを支点としてピボット運動させて手技する。ピボット運動によりトロッカーCから腹壁支点にかかる圧力強度、圧力方向、それらの変動(変化)等(以下、これらをまとめて「手技圧」という。)は、患者の身体にかかる負担(侵襲)となることから、近年は侵襲を軽減できる低侵襲手術が求められている。このため、腹腔鏡下手術では腹壁支点にかかる手技圧を継続的に把握(評価)することが重要である。しかし、侵襲は手術を施行する医師の手技によって異なるし、ベテランの医師であれば経験と勘で腹壁支点にかかる手技圧をある程度は把握可能であるが、経験の浅い医師や研修医、医学生等にとっては把握が難しい。   In laparoscopic surgery, the surgical instrument F passed through the trocar C is pivoted with the trocar C as a fulcrum to perform the procedure. The pressure intensity applied from the trocar C to the abdominal wall fulcrum by the pivoting movement, the pressure direction, and their fluctuations (changes) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “hand pressure”) are burdens (invasive) on the patient's body. Therefore, in recent years, minimally invasive surgery that can reduce invasion has been demanded. For this reason, in laparoscopic surgery, it is important to continuously grasp (evaluate) the technique pressure applied to the abdominal wall fulcrum. However, the invasion varies depending on the procedure of the doctor performing the surgery, and if it is an experienced doctor, it is possible to grasp the procedure pressure on the abdominal wall fulcrum to some extent by experience and intuition, but inexperienced doctors, residents, and medical students It is difficult for us to understand.

本発明の目的は、手技中の手技圧を継続的に検知できる手技圧検知デバイスと、そのデバイスを利用した手技訓練(トレーニング)システムと、腹腔鏡下手術を支援できる腹腔鏡下手術支援システムを提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a technique pressure detection device capable of continuously detecting a technique pressure during a procedure, a technique training (training) system using the device, and a laparoscopic surgery support system capable of supporting laparoscopic surgery. It is to provide.

本発明の手技圧検知デバイスは、腹腔鏡下手術で使用するトロッカー、手術器具、手技圧がかかるその他の器具(以下、「手技圧関連器具」という。)に、手技圧を検知可能な圧力センサを設けて、手術器具の手技により圧力センサにかかる手技圧を継続的に感知(検知)できるようにしたものである。本発明の手技圧検知デバイスは手術器具の手技訓練や手技の評価に使用することもできる。   The technique pressure detection device of the present invention is a pressure sensor capable of detecting a technique pressure in a trocar, a surgical instrument, and other instruments to which a procedure pressure is applied (hereinafter referred to as “procedure pressure related instrument”) used in laparoscopic surgery. Is provided so that the technique pressure applied to the pressure sensor can be continuously detected (detected) by the technique of the surgical instrument. The technique pressure detection device of the present invention can also be used for technique training of surgical instruments and evaluation of techniques.

本発明の手技訓練システムは、腹腔鏡下手術で使用する手術器具の手技訓練を行うことができるものであり、人体の腹壁を模した疑似腹壁と、手術器具の手技訓練中に疑似腹壁にかかる手技圧を継続的に検知できる圧力センサと、圧力センサで検知した手技圧を少なくともグラフ化又は/及び図形化(以下、両者をまとめて「図形化」という。)できる信号処理部(例えば、パソコン)と、画像モニタを備え、前記疑似腹壁はトロッカー差込み孔と腹腔鏡差込み開口部を備え、前記信号処理部は腹腔鏡で撮影された撮影画像と、前記信号処理部で図形化された手技圧図形とを、前記画像モニタの同一画面に同時にリアルタイムで表示でき、表示された撮影画像と手技圧図形の画像(手技圧画像)を見ながら手技訓練できるようにしたものである。   The technique training system according to the present invention is capable of performing a technique training of a surgical instrument used in laparoscopic surgery. A pressure sensor capable of continuously detecting the technique pressure, and a signal processing unit (for example, a personal computer) that can at least graph or / and figure the technique pressure detected by the pressure sensor (hereinafter, both are collectively referred to as "figure"). ) And an image monitor, the pseudo abdominal wall includes a trocar insertion hole and a laparoscopic insertion opening, and the signal processing unit is a photographic image taken with a laparoscope, and a hand pressure that is figured by the signal processing unit The figure can be displayed simultaneously on the same screen of the image monitor in real time, and the technique training can be performed while viewing the displayed captured image and the image of the technique pressure figure (the technique pressure image). .

本発明の腹腔鏡下手術支援システムは、腹腔鏡下手術において使用するトロッカーと、手術器具と、圧力センサと、当該圧力センサで検知した手技圧を少なくとも画像化できる信号処理部と、画像モニタを備え、前記信号処理部は腹腔鏡で撮影された撮影画像と当該信号処理部で画像化された手技圧図形を前記画像モニタの同一画面に同時にリアルタイムで表示することができ、表示された撮影画像と手技圧画像を見ながら腹腔鏡下手術の手技を行うことができるようにしたものである。腹腔鏡下手術の手技をロボットで行う場合は、前記圧力センサで検知された手技圧に基づいてロボットの手技を制御可能な制御部を設け、その制御部からの信号により、ロボットの手技圧が軽減するように当該ロボットを制御できるようにしたものでもある。   A laparoscopic surgery support system of the present invention includes a trocar used in laparoscopic surgery, a surgical instrument, a pressure sensor, a signal processing unit capable of imaging at least a technique pressure detected by the pressure sensor, and an image monitor. The signal processing unit is capable of simultaneously displaying in real time on the same screen of the image monitor the captured image captured by the laparoscope and the technique pressure image imaged by the signal processing unit. The procedure of laparoscopic surgery can be performed while viewing the procedure pressure image. When a laparoscopic surgical procedure is performed by a robot, a control unit capable of controlling the robot procedure based on the procedure pressure detected by the pressure sensor is provided, and the robot procedure pressure is determined by a signal from the control unit. The robot can also be controlled so as to reduce it.

本発明の手技圧検知デバイスは、手術器具の手技中に圧力センサにかかる手技圧を継続的に検知できるので、腹腔鏡下手術に使用して手術中の手技圧をリアルタイムに検知することができる。また、腹腔鏡下手術の手技訓練に使用して訓練中の手技圧をリアルタイムに検知することもできる。   Since the technique pressure detection device of the present invention can continuously detect the technique pressure applied to the pressure sensor during the procedure of the surgical instrument, it can be used for laparoscopic surgery to detect the technique pressure during the operation in real time. . It can also be used for laparoscopic surgery technique training to detect the technique pressure during training in real time.

本発明の手技訓練システムを使用すれば、実際の腹腔鏡下手術に近い環境で手技訓練を行うことができ、手術器具の安定したピボット操作を習得することができる。   By using the procedure training system of the present invention, procedure training can be performed in an environment close to actual laparoscopic surgery, and a stable pivot operation of the surgical instrument can be acquired.

本発明の腹腔鏡下手術支援システムは、手術中の手技圧を圧力センサで検知し、手技圧画像としてモニタ画面に表示することができるので、モニタ画面で手技圧を確認しながら、手技圧が軽減するように手技して患者への負担を軽減することができ、低侵襲手術が可能となる。腹腔鏡下手術をロボットで行う場合は、検知した手技圧に基づいて手技圧が低減するようにロボットを制御することができるので、低侵襲手術が可能になる。   The laparoscopic surgery support system of the present invention can detect the technique pressure during the operation with the pressure sensor and display it on the monitor screen as a technique pressure image, so that the technique pressure is checked while checking the technique pressure on the monitor screen. The burden on the patient can be reduced by manipulating the procedure so as to reduce the invasive surgery. When performing laparoscopic surgery with a robot, the robot can be controlled so that the technique pressure is reduced based on the detected technique pressure, thereby enabling minimally invasive surgery.

(Embodiment 5 of a technique pressure detection device)
The technique pressure detection device of the present invention may be one in which the pressure sensor 4 is attached to a surgical instrument 6 (FIG. 2A) such as a forceps and a scalpel inserted into the trocar 2. The attachment location may be the outer peripheral surface or the inner peripheral surface of the surgical instrument 6. In this case, it is not necessary to attach the pressure sensor 4 to the seat 15.

(手技圧検知デバイスの実施形態6)
前記実施形態1〜5の手技圧検知デバイス1は、トロッカー2や手術器具6に圧力センサ4を取り付けたものであるが、本発明において圧力センサ4を取り付ける器具はトロッカー2や手術器具6以外のもであってもよく、手技圧を受ける手技圧関連器具、例えば、手技訓練システムの疑似腹壁(疑似体壁)22(図4)に取り付けたパッド26(図4)でもよい。
(Embodiment 6 of technique pressure detection device)
Although the technique pressure detection device 1 of the first to fifth embodiments has the pressure sensor 4 attached to the trocar 2 or the surgical instrument 6, the instrument to which the pressure sensor 4 is attached is not the trocar 2 or the surgical instrument 6 in the present invention. It may also be a technique pressure-related instrument that receives a technique pressure, for example, a pad 26 (FIG. 4) attached to the pseudo abdominal wall (pseudo body wall) 22 (FIG. 4) of the technique training system.

前記実施形態1〜6のいずれの手技圧検知デバイス1の場合も、トロッカー2内に挿入した手術器具6を手技すると、圧力センサ4と手術器具6が直に又は間接的に接触して、手技圧が圧力センサ4により継続的に検知される。同時に、手術器具6の動作に伴う手技圧変化もリアルタイムに検知される。ここで検知される手技圧は、腹腔鏡下手術の場合はトロッカー2を介して体壁(腹壁)のポート支点にかかる手技圧であり、手技訓練システムの場合は疑似腹壁(図4)22のポート支点にかかる手技圧である。   In any of the technique pressure detection devices 1 of the first to sixth embodiments, when the surgical instrument 6 inserted into the trocar 2 is manipulated, the pressure sensor 4 and the surgical instrument 6 come into direct or indirect contact with each other. The pressure is continuously detected by the pressure sensor 4. At the same time, a change in technique pressure accompanying the operation of the surgical instrument 6 is also detected in real time. The technique pressure detected here is the technique pressure applied to the port fulcrum of the body wall (abdominal wall) via the trocar 2 in the case of laparoscopic surgery, and in the case of the technique training system, the pseudo abdominal wall (FIG. 4) 22 This is the pressure applied to the port fulcrum.

[トロッカー]
本発明の手技圧検知デバイスに使用するトロッカー2は汎用のトロッカーであっても、新たに開発されたトロッカーであってもよい。汎用のトロッカーには各種形状、構造のものがあるが、基本的には図1(c)のようにヘッド5の先に本体3がある。いずれのトロッカーの場合も、手技圧を検知し易い箇所に、必要数の圧力センサ4を取り付けることができる。
[Trocker]
The trocar 2 used in the technique pressure detection device of the present invention may be a general-purpose trocar or a newly developed trocar. General-purpose trocars have various shapes and structures. Basically, there is a main body 3 at the end of the head 5 as shown in FIG. In any of the trocars, the necessary number of pressure sensors 4 can be attached to a place where the technique pressure is easily detected.

[圧力センサ]
本発明の手技圧検知デバイスに使用する圧力センサ4は、トロッカー2内に差し込んだ手術器具6の手技により、腹壁又は疑似腹壁のポート支点に加わる手技圧を検知できるセンサであればよく、例えば、汎用の圧力センサとか歪センサ、手技圧を検知可能な他のセンサを使用可能である。図1(a)、図2(a)では圧力センサ4を四箇所に取り付けてあるが、圧力センサ4は手技中の手技圧を感知し易い箇所に、感知し易い数だけ取り付ければよく、取付個数、取付箇所は特に限定されない。
[Pressure sensor]
The pressure sensor 4 used in the technique pressure detection device of the present invention may be any sensor that can detect the technique pressure applied to the port fulcrum of the abdominal wall or the pseudo abdominal wall by the technique of the surgical instrument 6 inserted into the trocar 2. A general-purpose pressure sensor, a strain sensor, or another sensor capable of detecting a technique pressure can be used. In FIGS. 1 (a) and 2 (a), the pressure sensors 4 are attached to four locations. However, the pressure sensors 4 may be attached to the locations where the procedure pressure during the procedure is easily detected. The number and attachment location are not particularly limited.

[フィルム状センサ]
圧力センサ4はトロッカー2や手術器具6等に直付けすることもできるが、図3(a)(b)に示すようにシート或いはフィルム(以下「フィルム」という。)7に圧力センサ4を取り付けてフィルム状センサ8を形成し、そのフィルム状センサ8をトロッカー2、手術器具6、他の手技圧関連器具に取り付けることもできる。フィルム7は差込み孔9と五本の仕切り溝10で区画された四枚の仕切り片11を備えており、夫々の仕切り片11に圧力センサ4を取り付けてある。この仕切り溝10を設けることにより夫々の圧力センサ4にかかる手技圧が検知され易くなるようにしてある。図3(a)のフィルム状センサ8はシート7の外側部分7aを図3(b)のように巻き上げて切込み12を広げることができるようにしてある。広げることにより、図3(c)のようにトロッカー2に手術器具6を差し込んでからでもフィルム状センサ8を疑似腹壁22(体壁A)の表面に貼り付けることができる。図3(a)(b)の圧力センサ4はリード線13で端子(コネクタ)14に接続してある。
[Film sensor]
Although the pressure sensor 4 can be directly attached to the trocar 2, the surgical instrument 6 or the like, the pressure sensor 4 is attached to a sheet or film (hereinafter referred to as “film”) 7 as shown in FIGS. The film-shaped sensor 8 can be formed, and the film-shaped sensor 8 can be attached to the trocar 2, the surgical instrument 6, and other technique pressure related instruments. The film 7 includes four partition pieces 11 partitioned by insertion holes 9 and five partition grooves 10, and the pressure sensor 4 is attached to each partition piece 11. By providing the partition groove 10, the technique pressure applied to each pressure sensor 4 is easily detected. The film-shaped sensor 8 in FIG. 3A is configured such that the outer portion 7a of the sheet 7 can be rolled up as shown in FIG. By spreading, the film sensor 8 can be attached to the surface of the pseudo abdominal wall 22 (body wall A) even after the surgical instrument 6 is inserted into the trocar 2 as shown in FIG. The pressure sensor 4 in FIGS. 3A and 3B is connected to a terminal (connector) 14 with a lead wire 13.
