PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize the invasion to a living body, enable the operation of recovering the excised tissue piece without interfering with the excision procedure of the living tissue, and efficiently excise the excised tissue piece without contaminating the surgical field due to the residual tissue piece. An ablation tissue collection device for removal is provided.
An excised tissue piece collection device 100 includes a distal end portion 110, a tube portion 120, and a hand operating mechanism 130, and can be introduced percutaneously into a surgical field in the same manner as a laparoscopic device. It has become. In the surgical field, the opening / closing mechanism of the distal end portion 110 expands the diameter and surface area of the wall surface structure 111 having a bellows structure or the like (cavity diameter expansion state). The side wall surface of the tip portion 110 is in a state of being greatly opened by folding the bellows structure (cavity deployed state). Tumors removed by the ablation device are successively taken into the cavity 112 inside the distal end portion 110. At an appropriate timing, the opening / closing mechanism closes the opening of the wall surface structure 111 and reduces the diameter (cavity reduced diameter closed state), and then transfers the tube structure 120 out of the body.

Description

本発明は、経皮孔から生体患部へ低侵襲でアクセスし、腫瘍部分など生体組織の切除手術により生じた切除組織片を除去するための切除組織片回収装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a resected tissue piece collection device for accessing a living body affected area through a percutaneous hole with minimal invasiveness and removing a resected tissue piece generated by a resection operation of a living tissue such as a tumor part.

腹腔鏡手術は、開腹せずに体に穿った小孔から腹腔鏡を侵襲させ、腹腔内の様子をモニターなどに写し出し、モニターで目視しながら電気メスなどの特殊な医療器具を腹腔鏡のルーメンなどから投入し、患部を手術する方法である。腹腔鏡下手術では、例えば腹部に5から10mm程度の小さな経皮孔を数箇所開けるだけで手術が行われるため、低侵襲で患者への負担が小さく、術後の痛みが少ない上、短期間の入院ですみ、社会復帰も早いため、優れた手術方法として普及しつつある。   In laparoscopic surgery, a laparoscope is invaded through a small hole in the body without opening the laparoscope, and the state inside the abdominal cavity is displayed on a monitor, etc. This is a method of performing surgery on the affected area. In laparoscopic surgery, for example, surgery is performed by simply opening a few small percutaneous holes of about 5 to 10 mm in the abdomen. Therefore, the burden on the patient is small, the post-operative pain is small, and the period is short. Because of its rapid hospitalization, it is becoming a popular surgical method.

従来は、腹腔鏡手術により生じた患部の腫瘍部分などの切除組織片の除去は、腹腔鏡のルーメンを通して投入した特殊な小型の切除用鉗子等で把持して取り出すことにより行っていたが、切除組織片が大きい場合には体に穿った経皮孔より大きい場合もあり、そのままでは切除組織片を簡単には除去できない。このような事態を避けるため、あらかじめ切除する大きさを小さくして細切れに切除するか、一旦切除した組織片を術野において電気メスなどで再び小さく細切れに破砕する必要があった。
このように、腹腔鏡手術は優れた術式であるが、開腹していないゆえ、患部の腫瘍部分など生体組織の切除手術により生じた切除組織片を如何に除去回収するかということが問題となってくる。そこで、従来技術において生体組織の切除手術により生じた切除組織片を除去する方法として幾つかの方法が提案されている。
Conventionally, removal of excised tissue pieces such as the tumor part of the affected part caused by laparoscopic surgery has been performed by grasping and removing with a special small excision forceps inserted through the lumen of the laparoscope. If the tissue piece is large, it may be larger than the percutaneous hole made in the body, and the excised tissue piece cannot be easily removed as it is. In order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to reduce the size of excision in advance and excise it into small pieces, or once excised tissue pieces need to be shredded again into small pieces with an electric knife or the like in the surgical field.
In this way, laparoscopic surgery is an excellent technique, but because it is not open, how to remove and collect excised tissue fragments produced by excision of living tissue such as the tumor part of the affected area is a problem. It becomes. In view of this, several methods have been proposed in the prior art as methods for removing excised tissue fragments produced by excision of living tissue.

第1の除去方法は、組織片把持引き出し方法である。把持部による把持引き出しと組織片の切断を効率良く同時に行う技術である。小型の把持部の周囲に環状の切断用部材を設けておき、把持した部分を管内に引き込む際に管口に設けた環状の刃で切断して管内に引き込み、管径に切り取られた組織片をそのまま把持部で体外へ引き出すものが知られている(特表2001−513355)。   The first removal method is a tissue piece grasping and drawing method. This is a technique for efficiently and simultaneously performing grasping and drawing by the grasping unit and cutting of the tissue piece. An annular cutting member is provided around a small gripping part, and when the gripped part is pulled into the tube, it is cut with an annular blade provided in the tube port and pulled into the tube, and the tissue piece cut to the tube diameter Is known to be pulled out of the body as it is by the gripping part (special table 2001-513355).

第2の除去方法は、組織片破砕吸引方法である。生体組織の切除手術により生じた切除組織片に対して管を突っ込んで組織片の体液を吸引する方法である。近年、腹腔鏡用の吸引装置が開発されており、それによって患部の腫瘍部分から生体組織液を吸引して且つその術後の患部を洗浄消毒する。組織片を吸引する方法としては、パイプに陰圧をかけて液体を吸引して移送する方法が知られている。なお、生体への侵襲を小さくするためにパイプは極細のものが使用されることが多い。   The second removal method is a tissue piece crushing suction method. In this method, the body fluid of the tissue piece is sucked by pushing the tube into the excised tissue piece generated by the excision operation of the living tissue. In recent years, a suction device for a laparoscope has been developed, whereby a biological tissue fluid is sucked from a tumor part of an affected part and the affected part is cleaned and disinfected. As a method of sucking a tissue piece, a method of sucking and transferring a liquid by applying a negative pressure to a pipe is known. In order to reduce the invasion to a living body, an extremely fine pipe is often used.

組織片を吸引しやすくするため、吸引前に生体組織片をもっと細かく破砕して吸引するものがある。例えば、特開平9−215747号公報では、超音波を出力するための超音波振動子と一体となった吸引路となったプローブを持つ超音波吸引装置が開示されている。プローブの先端部近傍の内腔に超音波振動により生体組織を破砕可能な先端機構を設けておき、生体組織を吸引除去する際の除去効率を高めるものである。   In order to make it easy to suck the tissue piece, there is one in which the biological tissue piece is more finely crushed and sucked before the suction. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-215747 discloses an ultrasonic suction apparatus having a probe that forms a suction path integrated with an ultrasonic transducer for outputting ultrasonic waves. A tip mechanism capable of crushing the living tissue by ultrasonic vibration is provided in the lumen in the vicinity of the tip of the probe to increase the removal efficiency when sucking and removing the living tissue.

また、超音波振動子ではなく、回転するスクリュー刃で生体組織を破砕して除去するものも知られている。特表2002−539883号公報には、円錐形の回転体を先端に有するカニューレを備えた切除装置が提案されている。先端の回転体には組織を剥がすための切開口が複数設けられていて、剥がされた組織がその切開口からカニューレの内腔に導入される。導入された組織は、吸引機構と連動しているアルキメデススクリューによって内腔内をカニューレ長手方向に沿って移送されるようになっている。   In addition, there is known an apparatus that crushes and removes a living tissue with a rotating screw blade instead of an ultrasonic vibrator. In Japanese translations of PCT publication No. 2002-539883, an ablation device including a cannula having a conical rotating body at the tip is proposed. The rotating body at the distal end is provided with a plurality of incisions for peeling off the tissue, and the peeled tissue is introduced into the lumen of the cannula from the incisions. The introduced tissue is transported in the lumen along the longitudinal direction of the cannula by an Archimedes screw interlocked with the suction mechanism.

特表2001−513355Special table 2001-513355 特開平9−215747号公報JP-A-9-215747 特表2002−539883号公報JP-T-2002-539883

しかし、上記従来の生体組織除去方法には以下の問題がある。
第1の組織片把持引き出し方法では、組織片除去に時間がかかるという問題がある。従来の第1の組織片把持引き出し方法では、一度に引き出せる組織片の量が腹腔鏡のルーメンの細い径に限定されており、少量ずつしか把持部で引き出すことができない。そのため、組織片除去に時間がかかる。特に、生体組織の切除量が多い場合など、すべての腫瘍組織などを一度に切除できない場合は、切除手技と並行して切除した組織片を除去する手技を行う必要があるが、従来技術では、電気メスなどを利用した生体組織の切除と、把持機構を利用した切除した組織片の除去とを交互に行う必要がある上、その切除組織片の除去作業に時間がかかることとなり、手術全体の時間が長くなってしまうという事態が生じていた。
However, the conventional biological tissue removal method has the following problems.
The first tissue piece grasping and drawing method has a problem that it takes time to remove the tissue piece. In the conventional first method of grasping and pulling out a tissue piece, the amount of tissue piece that can be pulled out at a time is limited to the thin diameter of the lumen of the laparoscope, and can be pulled out little by little at the grasping portion. Therefore, it takes time to remove the tissue piece. In particular, when all of the tumor tissue cannot be excised at once, such as when the amount of excised tissue is large, it is necessary to perform a procedure to remove the excised tissue piece in parallel with the excision procedure. It is necessary to alternately perform the excision of the living tissue using an electric knife and the removal of the excised tissue piece using the grasping mechanism, and it takes time to remove the excised tissue piece, There was a situation where time was getting longer.

第2の組織片破砕吸引方法では、生体組織片が吸引管に詰まりやすいというという問題があった。生体組織はからなずしも粘性の小さいいわゆるサラサラの体液だけではなく、粘性の高い体液や塊状の組織片も多く、従来の吸引方法では、腫瘍部分などの組織を吸引している途中で組織片が詰まってしまい、吸引力が低下し、生体組織を完全に吸引して取り除くことができないという事態が起こり得る。そのために、洗浄液をかけて粘性を下げながら吸引を繰り返さざるを得ず、結局、組織片の吸引時間が長くなり、手術全体の時間が長くなってしまうという事態が生じていた。   In the second tissue piece crushing and sucking method, there is a problem that the biological tissue piece is easily clogged in the suction tube. Biological tissues are not limited to so-called smooth body fluids that have a low viscosity, but there are many highly viscous body fluids and massive tissue pieces. In the conventional suction method, tissues are in the middle of suctioning tissue such as tumor parts. The piece may be clogged, the suction force may be reduced, and the living tissue may not be completely aspirated and removed. For this reason, the suction must be repeated while lowering the viscosity by applying a cleaning solution, and eventually the time for sucking the tissue piece becomes long and the time for the entire operation becomes long.

また、第2の組織片破砕吸引方法では、術野を汚してしまうという問題があった。上記のように、従来の組織片破砕吸引方法では、生体組織片が吸引管に詰まらないように組織片を細かく砕いてから吸引するが、組織片の破砕用に高速回転するカッターなどを設けるものが多く、組織片は小さくなるものの組織残滓が飛び散り、術野を汚してしまう問題があった。そのために、洗浄液をかけて術野を掃除しつつ生体組織の切除手技を行わざるを得ず、結局、組織片の吸引時間が長くなり、手術全体の時間が長くなってしまうという事態が生じていた。   Further, the second tissue piece crushing and sucking method has a problem that the surgical field is soiled. As described above, in the conventional tissue fragment crushing suction method, the tissue piece is finely crushed and sucked so that the biological tissue piece is not clogged in the suction tube, but a high-speed rotating cutter or the like is provided for crushing the tissue piece. However, there are problems that tissue fragments are scattered, but tissue debris scatters and soils the surgical field. For this reason, it is unavoidable to perform a surgical procedure to remove the living tissue while cleaning the surgical field by applying a cleaning solution, resulting in a situation where the time for sucking the tissue piece becomes longer and the time for the entire operation becomes longer. It was.

また、従来技術において、生体組織の切除作業を行う切除装置と、切除組織片の除去作業を行う回収装置とを一体化した装置も散見されるが、作業効率をかえって低下させるという問題があった。患部までのアクセスが一経路で良いというメリットがあるものの、実際の手術中においては、切除組織片の回収作業が、腫瘍などの組織片の切除作業そのものに干渉する事態を招きやすく作業効率を下げることがしばしばあった。   In addition, in the prior art, there are some devices that integrate a resecting apparatus that performs excision work of living tissue and a recovery apparatus that performs excision work of a excised tissue piece. However, there is a problem that the work efficiency is reduced. . Although there is a merit that access to the affected area is only one route, during the actual operation, the removal of the excised tissue fragment tends to interfere with the excision of the tissue fragment such as a tumor, and the work efficiency is lowered. There were often things.

本発明は、上記問題を解決し、生体への侵襲を小さく抑えたまま、電気メスなどを用いた生体組織の切除手技には影響を与えずに切除組織片の回収作業を可能とし、かつ、組織片残滓などにより術野を汚すことなく多量の切除組織片を効率的に除去することを可能とする切除組織片回収装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, enables the operation of recovering the excised tissue piece without affecting the excision procedure of the biological tissue using an electric knife while keeping the invasion to the living body small, and It is an object of the present invention to provide an excised tissue piece collection device that can efficiently remove a large amount of excised tissue pieces without contaminating the operative field due to residual tissue pieces.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の切除組織片回収装置は、経皮的に組織切除部位の術野まで導入可能な切除組織片回収装置であって、前記組織切除部位の術野にアプローチし、前記術野において切除組織片を取り入れるキャビティを形成する先端部と、前記先端部に連結され、前記先端部を患者の体外から前記術野からまで導入し、術後に前記先端部を引き抜く管部と、前記管部に連結され、術者による操作を可能とする手元操作機構とを備え、前記先端部が開閉機構を備え、前記術野にアプローチするまでは前記先端部の側壁面が閉鎖したキャビティ閉鎖状態、前記術野にアプローチ後に前記先端部の側壁面を大きく開放したキャビティ展開状態とする前記先端部の変形が可能であることを特徴とする切除組織片回収装置である。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the excised tissue piece collection device of the present invention is a excised tissue piece collection device that can be percutaneously introduced to the surgical field of the tissue excision site, and approaches the surgical field of the tissue excision site. A distal portion that forms a cavity for taking in the excised tissue piece in the surgical field, and is connected to the distal portion, the distal portion is introduced from outside the patient's body to the surgical field, and the distal portion is withdrawn after surgery. A tube portion and a hand operation mechanism that is connected to the tube portion and allows operation by an operator, the distal end portion includes an opening / closing mechanism, and the side wall surface of the distal end portion remains open until the surgical field is approached. An excised tissue piece collecting device, wherein the distal end portion can be deformed in a closed cavity closed state and a cavity deployed state in which the side wall surface of the distal end portion is largely opened after approaching the surgical field.

上記構成により、本発明の切除組織片回収装置の先端部は開閉機構を備えているので、患者に対して低侵襲で先端部を、腫瘍切除などの術野にアプローチさせるまでは先端部の径、管部の径は当初小さくしておき、術野に到達した後は、作業効率を高めるため、先端部のキャビティを大きく展開した状態とすることができる。
また、上記構成により、本発明の切除組織片回収装置を切除手術を行う切除手術装置から独立した構成とすることができ、切除手術装置を用いて切除手術中に生じた切除組織片を、本発明の切除組織片回収装置の先端部のキャビティ内に取り入れ、管部を介して体外に回収することができ、生体組織の切除手術と切除組織片の回収作業を独立して並行に行うことが可能となる。切除手術中に生じた腫瘍などの切除組織片を傍らのキャビティに取り入れて行けば良いので、腫瘍などの切除組織片や体液を他の正常組織に接触させることなく回収作業を実行できる。
With the above configuration, since the distal end portion of the excised tissue piece collection device of the present invention has an opening / closing mechanism, the diameter of the distal end portion is minimally invasive until the distal end approaches the surgical field such as tumor resection. The diameter of the tube portion is initially reduced, and after reaching the operative field, the cavity at the distal end portion can be expanded greatly in order to increase the working efficiency.
In addition, with the above configuration, the excised tissue piece collection device of the present invention can be configured independently of the excision surgery device that performs excision surgery. Incorporated into the cavity at the distal end of the excised tissue piece collection device of the invention, can be collected outside the body through the tube, and the excision operation of the biological tissue and the excised tissue piece collection work can be performed independently and in parallel It becomes possible. Since the excised tissue piece such as a tumor generated during the excision surgery may be taken into the side cavity, the recovery operation can be performed without bringing the excised tissue piece such as the tumor or body fluid into contact with other normal tissues.

上記した本発明の切除組織片回収装置の構成において、前記先端部の開閉機構が、前記先端部の側壁面を伸長させて拡径させる拡径機能を備え、前記先端部の開閉機構による前記キャビティ展開状態が、前記先端部を拡径させた状態で前記側壁面の一部を切り開いて大きく開口した状態とすることが好ましい。
上記構成であれば、単に先端部の壁面の一部が蓋のように開口するものではなく、側壁面が切り開かれて展開した状態となるため、切除組織片を取り入れる器としてのキャビティの面積が大きくなる。
In the configuration of the excised tissue piece collection apparatus of the present invention described above, the opening / closing mechanism of the distal end portion has a diameter expanding function of expanding and expanding the side wall surface of the distal end portion, and the cavity by the opening / closing mechanism of the distal end portion It is preferable that the unfolded state is a state in which a part of the side wall surface is opened and greatly opened in a state where the diameter of the distal end portion is expanded.
If it is the above-mentioned configuration, a part of the wall surface of the tip is not opened like a lid, but the side wall surface is cut open and expanded, so the area of the cavity as a container for taking in the excised tissue piece is large growing.

ここで、前記先端部の側壁面の前記拡径機能を実現する手段として、例えば、前記先端部の側壁面が蛇腹構造を備え、前記蛇腹構造を用いて側壁面を伸縮させるという手段がある。また、蛇腹構造が、先端部の外壁面側にある外蛇腹構造と、先端部の内壁面側にある内蛇腹構造を備え、外蛇腹構造の伸縮と内蛇腹構造の伸縮の大きさの違いにより、先端部の開閉機構が備える拡径機能が調整されるものとすることも可能である。
蛇腹構造を伸縮させる手段としては、例えば、前記蛇腹構造に対する空気の注入・排出制御によるバルーン制御手段がある。また、その他には、前記蛇腹構造に組み込まれたワイヤーによるワイヤー駆動手段がある。
Here, as means for realizing the diameter expanding function of the side wall surface of the tip portion, for example, there is a means that the side wall surface of the tip portion has a bellows structure and the side wall surface is expanded and contracted using the bellows structure. In addition, the bellows structure includes an outer bellows structure on the outer wall surface side of the tip portion and an inner bellows structure on the inner wall surface side of the tip portion, depending on the difference in expansion and contraction of the outer bellows structure and the inner bellows structure. It is also possible to adjust the diameter expansion function of the opening / closing mechanism at the tip.
As means for expanding and contracting the bellows structure, for example, there is a balloon control means based on air injection / discharge control with respect to the bellows structure. In addition, there is a wire driving means using a wire incorporated in the bellows structure.

上記のように先端部の壁面構造物が蛇腹機能を備えたものであり、前記先端部の側壁面が開閉接合部を持ち、前記開閉接合部で接合している側壁面同士が接合を解いて離隔可能な構造を備えたものであれば、前記先端部の開閉機構による前記キャビティ展開状態が、前記先端部が前記拡径状態から、前記開閉接合部で接合している側壁面の前記蛇腹構造を折り畳むことで離隔し、大きく開口した状態とすることができる。   As described above, the wall structure at the tip has a bellows function, the side wall of the tip has an open / close joint, and the side walls joined at the open / close joint are unbonded. If it has a structure that can be separated, the cavity developed state by the opening / closing mechanism of the distal end portion is the bellows structure of the side wall surface where the distal end portion is joined from the enlarged diameter state by the opening / closing joining portion. Can be separated and folded to a large opening.

また、さらに開口を大きく開くため、前記先端部の側壁面が開閉接合部を持ち、前記開閉接合部で接合している側壁面同士が接合し合う接合状態と、開放し合う離隔状態を持つ開閉構造を備え、前記先端部の開閉機構による前記キャビティ展開状態において、前記先端部が前記拡径状態から、前記開閉接合部で接合している開閉構造を開き、前記蛇腹構造を折り畳むことで前記側壁面同士が離隔し合い、開口が大きく開口した状態となるものとすることが好ましい。
上記した構成であれば、先端部の壁面が拡径した拡径状態で、側壁面が切り開かれて展開した状態となるため、開口が一層大きくなり、切除組織片を取り入れる器としてのキャビティの面積がさらに大きくなる。
Further, in order to further open the opening, the side wall surface of the front end portion has an open / close joint, and the open / close state has a joint state in which the side wall surfaces joined at the open / close joint portion are joined to each other, and an open and separated state. In the cavity deployment state by the opening / closing mechanism of the distal end portion, the opening / closing structure joined by the opening / closing joint portion is opened from the expanded diameter state, and the bellows structure is folded to open the side It is preferable that the wall surfaces are separated from each other and the opening is greatly opened.
With the above configuration, since the side wall surface is cut open and expanded in the expanded state where the wall surface of the distal end portion is expanded, the opening is further increased and the area of the cavity as a container for taking in the excised tissue piece Becomes even larger.

また、さらに開口を大きく開くため、前記先端部の側壁面の一部に、前記側壁面の角度を変える蝶番構造を1か所以上備え、前記先端部の開閉機構による前記キャビティ展開状態において、前記先端部が前記拡径状態から、前記開閉接合部で接合している開閉構造を開き、前記1か所以上の蝶番構造により前記側壁面の角度を変え、前記側壁面を観音開きで離隔することにより大きく開口した状態となるものとすることが好ましい。
上記した構成であれば、先端部の壁面が拡径した拡径状態で、側壁面が蝶番で外側に開かれて展開した状態となるため、開口が一層大きくなり、切除組織片を取り入れる器としてのキャビティの面積がさらに大きくなる。
Further, in order to further open the opening, at least one hinge structure for changing the angle of the side wall surface is provided in a part of the side wall surface of the tip portion, and in the cavity deployment state by the opening / closing mechanism of the tip portion, By opening the open / close structure joined at the open / close joint from the enlarged diameter state of the distal end, changing the angle of the side wall surface by the one or more hinge structures, and separating the side wall surface by a double door It is preferable to have a large opening.
With the above configuration, since the wall surface of the distal end portion is expanded, the side wall surface is opened to the outside with a hinge, so that the opening is further increased, and a device for taking in the excised tissue piece The cavity area is further increased.

次に、前記先端部の開閉機構が、前記拡径機能により前記先端部の側壁面を伸縮させて拡径した前記キャビティ展開状態から、前記先端部の側壁面を伸長させた状態のまま前記先端部の壁面を閉鎖したキャビティ拡径閉鎖状態とすることを可能とすることが好ましい。
なお、管部を介した切除組織片の回収作業中は、組織片の残渣が先端部から漏れ出ないようにキャビティを閉鎖状態にすることが好ましいところ、キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態とすることにより組織片の残渣が先端部から漏れ出ない。また、切除組織片の取り込みにおいて大きな切除組織片の塊も先端部に取り入れられている場合もあるので、キャビティ閉鎖状態の径もより大きな拡径状態でそのまま閉鎖するキャビティ拡径閉鎖状態にできる。
Next, the distal end opening / closing mechanism expands the side wall surface of the distal end portion by expanding and contracting the diameter by the diameter expanding function, and the distal end portion remains in a state where the side wall surface of the distal end portion is extended. It is preferable to make it possible to make the cavity expanded diameter closed state in which the wall surface of the portion is closed.
During the recovery operation of the excised tissue piece via the tube part, it is preferable to close the cavity so that the residue of the tissue piece does not leak from the tip part. The residue of the piece does not leak from the tip. In addition, since a large lump of excised tissue piece may be taken into the distal end portion when the excised tissue piece is taken in, it is possible to achieve a cavity expanded closed state in which the diameter of the cavity closed state is closed as it is in a larger expanded state.

次に、先端部に取り込んだ組織片の回収について述べる。
先端部に取り込んだ組織片の回収には2通りある。
第1は、癌などの組織片を病理検査に回すために、潰さずそのまま回収する回収方法である。つまり、できるだけ患者に負担のない状態でそのまま組織片を取り出すことを目的とする回収である。
第2は、癌などの組織片を潰して小さくして体外へ回収する方法である。つまり、できるだけ患者に負担のない状態で組織片を体外へ取り出せばよい回収方法である。
Next, recovery of the tissue piece taken into the tip will be described.
There are two ways to recover the tissue piece taken into the tip.
The first is a collection method in which tissue pieces such as cancer are collected without being crushed so as to be sent for pathological examination. That is, the collection is aimed at taking out the tissue piece as it is with as little burden on the patient as possible.
The second is a method of crushing a tissue piece such as cancer to make it smaller and recovering it from the body. That is, this is a recovery method in which the tissue piece is taken out of the body with as little burden on the patient as possible.

まず、上記第1の組織片の回収方法に適した構造として、本発明の切除組織片回収装置において、前記先端部の開閉機構が前記拡径機能を停止して前記側壁面を収縮させて縮径させる縮径機能を備えたものとした構造がある。
上記構成により、前記先端部を前記キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態から縮径状態とし、前記先端部のキャビティ内に前記切除組織片を蓄えた状態のまま、前記管部を介して前記先端部を前記患者の体外へ引き抜き、前記切除組織片を取り出すことができる。
First, as a structure suitable for the first tissue piece recovery method, in the excised tissue piece recovery apparatus of the present invention, the opening / closing mechanism of the tip portion stops the diameter expansion function and contracts the side wall surface by contraction. There is a structure having a function of reducing the diameter.
With the above-described configuration, the distal end portion is changed from the cavity diameter-enlarged closed state to the reduced diameter state, and the distal end portion is connected to the patient via the tube portion while the excised tissue piece is stored in the cavity of the distal end portion. It can be pulled out of the body and the excised tissue piece can be taken out.

次に、上記第2の組織片の回収方法に適した構造として、前記管部が前記術野から患者の体外まで導通する内腔を持ち、前記管部に接続され、前記内腔に陰圧を与える圧力調整装置を備え、前記先端部に取り込まれた前記切除組織片を、前記圧力調整装置によって前記内腔に与えた陰圧により、前記内腔を介して移送できるものとした構造がある。
陰圧の大きさと組織片の硬さや弾力性によるが、組織片が陰圧で潰れつつ内腔に吸い取られるように管を介して体外へ回収することができる。
Next, as a structure suitable for the second tissue piece recovery method, the tube portion has a lumen that conducts from the surgical field to the outside of the patient's body, is connected to the tube portion, and negative pressure is applied to the lumen. There is a structure in which the excised tissue piece taken into the distal end portion can be transferred through the lumen by the negative pressure applied to the lumen by the pressure adjusting device. .
Depending on the magnitude of the negative pressure and the hardness and elasticity of the tissue piece, the tissue piece can be recovered outside the body via a tube so that it is crushed by the negative pressure and sucked into the lumen.

また、前記先端部のキャビティ内に取り込まれた切除組織片を破砕する切除組織片破砕装置を備え、前記切除組織片を細かく破砕して移送しやすくする工夫も好ましい。
上記構成のように破砕装置を備えることにより、先端部のキャビティに取り込まれた切除組織片の中には大きな切除組織片の塊である場合もあるが、破砕装置により切除組織片の塊を小さく破砕することができる。
ただし、破砕残滓も術野に飛び散るようなことがないよう、前記切除組織片破砕装置が、前記キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態とした状態にて稼働可能な大きさ・構造であることが好ましい。大きな切除組織片の塊であっても、キャビティを拡径閉鎖状態で破砕することができ、破砕残滓も術野に飛び散るようなことがない。
In addition, it is preferable to provide a device for crushing the excised tissue piece that crushes the excised tissue piece taken into the cavity of the distal end portion so that the excised tissue piece is finely crushed and easily transported.
By providing the crushing device as in the above configuration, some of the excised tissue pieces taken into the cavity of the tip may be a large mass of excised tissue pieces. Can be crushed.
However, it is preferable that the excised tissue piece crushing device has a size and a structure that can be operated in the state in which the cavity diameter is expanded and closed so that the crushing residue is not scattered in the surgical field. Even in the case of a large lump of excised tissue, the cavity can be crushed with the diameter expanded and closed, and the crushed residue is not scattered into the operative field.

また、前記管部における前記切除組織片を移送する手段としては、前記内腔内に通し入れた、先端に把持部を備えた把持機構を利用して引き出す把持引き出し手段を適用することもできる。   In addition, as a means for transferring the excised tissue piece in the tube portion, a grasping / drawing means that is inserted into the lumen and pulled out using a grasping mechanism having a grasping portion at the tip can be applied.

本発明の切除組織片回収装置によれば、患者に対して低侵襲で先端部を術野にアプローチさせるには先端部の径、管部の径は当初小さく、術野に到達した後は、作業効率を高めるため、先端部のキャビティを大きく展開した状態とすることができる。
また、本発明の切除組織片回収装置によれば、切除手術を行う切除手術装置から独立した構成とすることができ、切除手術装置を用いて切除手術中に生じた切除組織片を、本発明の切除組織片回収装置の先端部に載せ置くように取り入れて管部を介して体外に回収することができ、生体組織の切除手術と切除組織片の回収作業を独立して並行に行うことが可能となる。
また、本発明の切除組織片回収装置によれば、先端部をキャビティ拡径状態として組織片の回収を容易としつつ、組織片を取り込んだ後、先端部をキャビティ縮径状態として先端部をできるだけ小さい径にしてから先端部ごと管部を引き抜いて、組織片を潰すことなくかつ患者に負担をかけることなく組織片を回収して病理検査に回すことができる。
また、本発明の切除組織片回収装置によれば、先端部のキャビティに取り込まれた切除組織片の中には大きな切除組織片の塊である場合もあるが、陰圧で組織片を潰しながら、または、破砕装置により組織片を破砕しながら、切除組織片の塊を管部の内腔から吸い出すことにより回収することができる。
According to the excised tissue piece collection device of the present invention, the diameter of the tip portion and the diameter of the tube portion are initially small to allow the patient to approach the operative field with minimal invasiveness to the patient. In order to increase the working efficiency, the cavity at the tip can be expanded greatly.
In addition, according to the excised tissue piece collection device of the present invention, the excised tissue piece generated during the excision surgery using the excision surgery device can be configured independently of the excision surgery device for performing excision surgery. Incorporated to be placed on the distal end of the excised tissue piece recovery device, and can be collected outside the body through the tube, and the excision of living tissue and the excised tissue piece can be performed independently and in parallel. It becomes possible.
Further, according to the excised tissue piece collection apparatus of the present invention, the distal end portion is made into a cavity diameter-enlarged state to facilitate the collection of the tissue piece. After making the diameter small, the tube part can be pulled out together with the distal end part, and the tissue piece can be collected and sent for pathological examination without crushing the tissue piece and placing a burden on the patient.
Further, according to the resected tissue piece collecting apparatus of the present invention, some of the resected tissue pieces taken into the cavity at the tip may be a large lump of resected tissue pieces, but while crushing the tissue pieces with negative pressure, Alternatively, the mass of the excised tissue piece can be collected by sucking it out from the lumen of the tube part while crushing the tissue piece with a crushing device.

以下、図面を参照しつつ、本発明の切除組織片回収装置の実施例を説明する。ただし、本発明の範囲は以下の実施例に示した具体的な用途、形状、本数、個数などには限定されないことは言うまでもない。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the excised tissue piece collection device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, it goes without saying that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific application, shape, number, number, etc. shown in the following examples.

本発明の切除組織片回収装置は、患者に対して低侵襲で腫瘍切除などの術野にアプローチさせるべく当初は先端部の径、管部の径は小さくしておき、術野に到達した後は、作業効率を高めるべく先端部のキャビティを大きく展開した状態とするものである。先端部のキャビティを大きく展開した状態で、電気メスなど切除装置の傍らに独立した形で提供することにより、切除手術を行う切除手術装置から本発明の切除組織片回収装置を独立した構成とし、電気メスによる生体組織の切除手術と本発明の切除組織片回収装置による切除組織片の回収作業を独立して並行に行うことを可能とせしめるものである。つまり、切除手術装置を用いて切除手術中に生じた切除組織片を、次々と傍らにある切除組織片回収装置の先端部のキャビティ内に取り入れて行けば良いので、腫瘍などの切除組織片や体液を、他の正常組織に接触させることなく回収作業を実行することにより作業効率を向上させる。   In order to approach the surgical field such as tumor resection with minimal invasiveness to the patient, the excised tissue piece collection device of the present invention is initially reduced in the diameter of the tip and the diameter of the tube, and after reaching the surgical field Is a state in which the cavity at the tip portion is greatly expanded in order to improve the working efficiency. In a state where the cavity of the distal end portion is greatly expanded, by providing it in an independent form beside the resection device such as an electric knife, the resection tissue piece collection device of the present invention is configured independently from the resection operation device for performing resection surgery, The operation of excising the living tissue with an electric knife and the operation of collecting the excised tissue piece by the excised tissue piece collecting apparatus of the present invention can be performed independently and in parallel. In other words, the excision tissue pieces generated during the excision surgery using the excision surgery device may be taken into the cavity at the tip of the excision tissue piece collection device next to each other. The work efficiency is improved by executing the recovery operation without bringing the body fluid into contact with other normal tissues.

なお、取り込んだ切除組織片の回収は、本実施例1の例では、癌細胞などの切除組織片を病理検査に回すため、取り込んだ切除組織片をそのまま、取り出す機能を備えたものを説明する。ここで、取り出す際に先端部が大きく拡径したまま引き抜くと患者に大きな負担をかけるため、本実施例1では先端部をできるだけ小さく縮径する機能を備えたものとし、先端部を体外へ引き出す前に取り込んだ切除組織片を潰さないように縮径してから引き出す。つまり、本実施例1では、キャビティ112内に取り入れられた切除組織片の移送手段は、後述するように、管部120ごと先端部110を引き抜く手段を採用した例である。
なお、切除組織片を陰圧により潰しながら管部から吸い出す方式は実施例2で説明し、切除組織片破砕装置115により破砕して管部から吸い出す方式は実施例3で説明する。
In addition, in the example of the first embodiment, the collected excised tissue pieces are collected with the function of removing the taken excised tissue pieces as they are because the excised tissue pieces such as cancer cells are used for pathological examination. . Here, in order to place a large burden on the patient if the tip portion is pulled out with a large diameter when taken out, the first embodiment has a function of reducing the tip portion as much as possible and pulls the tip portion out of the body. Pull out after reducing the diameter so as not to crush the excised tissue piece previously taken. That is, in the first embodiment, as the transfer means of the excised tissue piece taken into the cavity 112, a means for pulling out the distal end portion 110 together with the tube portion 120 is employed as will be described later.
A method for sucking out the excised tissue piece from the tube while being crushed by negative pressure will be described in Example 2, and a method for crushing the excised tissue piece by the excised tissue piece crushing device 115 and sucking it out from the tube will be explained in Example 3.

実施例1にかかる本発明の切除組織片回収装置の例を示す。
図1は、実施例1にかかる切除組織片回収装置100の一構成例を示す図である。
図1に示すように、実施例1にかかる切除組織片回収装置100は、先端部110、管部120、手元操作機構130を備えた構成となっている。なお、切除組織片回収装置100は、医療機器として近年普及している腹腔鏡装置と同じように経皮的に組織切除部位の術野まで導入可能なものとなっている。なお、経皮的に組織切除部位の術野まで導入するために必要な構造については図示を省略している。
The example of the excisional tissue piece collection | recovery apparatus of this invention concerning Example 1 is shown.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the excised tissue piece collection device 100 according to the first embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the excised tissue piece collection apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment includes a distal end portion 110, a tube portion 120, and a hand operation mechanism 130. Note that the resected tissue piece collection device 100 can be percutaneously introduced into the surgical field at the tissue resection site in the same manner as a laparoscopic device that has been widely used as a medical device in recent years. In addition, illustration is abbreviate | omitted about the structure required in order to introduce percutaneously to the operative field of a tissue excision site | part.

先端部110は、切除組織片回収装置100の先端部分にあたるものであり、経皮的に組織切除部位の術野まで導入される部位となっている。
先端部110は開閉機能、拡径機能、縮径機能を備え、例えば、キャビティ閉鎖状態、キャビティ拡径展開状態、キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態、キャビティ縮径状態の4状態をとることができる。術野にアプローチするまでは先端部110の側壁面が閉鎖して径の小さいキャビティ閉鎖状態、術野にアプローチ後に先端部を拡径させた状態で側壁面を大きく開放して切除組織片を投入しやすくしたキャビティ拡径展開状態、切除組織片が投入された状態で開閉接合部を閉じたキャビティ拡径閉鎖状態、切除組織片が投入された状態で開閉接合部を閉じて縮径するキャビティ縮径状態をとる。これら各状態については後述する。
図1に示すように、先端部110は、壁面構造物111、キャビティ112、開閉接合部113を備えている。
The distal end portion 110 corresponds to the distal end portion of the excised tissue piece collection device 100 and is a site that is percutaneously introduced to the surgical field of the tissue excision site.
The tip portion 110 has an opening / closing function, a diameter expansion function, and a diameter reduction function, and can take, for example, four states: a cavity closed state, a cavity diameter expanded state, a cavity diameter expanded closed state, and a cavity diameter reduced state. Until the approach to the operative field, the side wall surface of the distal end portion 110 is closed and the cavity is closed with a small diameter. After the approach to the operative field, the distal end portion is expanded and the side wall surface is opened widely to insert the excised tissue piece. Cavity diameter expansion deployment state that makes it easy to perform, cavity diameter expansion closed state where the open / close joint is closed with the excised tissue piece inserted, cavity shrinkage that closes the open / close joint with the excised tissue piece inserted and shrinks Take diameter state. Each of these states will be described later.
As shown in FIG. 1, the distal end portion 110 includes a wall surface structure 111, a cavity 112, and an opening / closing joint portion 113.

壁面構造物111は、先端部110の壁面を構成する部材であり、この構成例では中空の筒体である。本実施例1の構成では、先端部110の壁面構造部物111は蛇腹構造を備えた例となっている。つまり、先端部110の開閉機構が備える拡径機能および縮径機能が、蛇腹構造を展開することにより壁面構造物111が伸張し、蛇腹構造を折り畳むことにより側壁面構造物111が収縮する構造となっている。
この構成例では、蛇腹構造が、先端部110の外壁面側にある外蛇腹構造111aと、先端部110の内壁面側にある内蛇腹構造111bを備え、外蛇腹構造111aの伸縮と内蛇腹構造111bの伸縮の大きさの違いにより、先端部110の開閉機構が備える拡径機能および縮径機能が調整されるものである。この拡径動作、縮径動作については詳しく後述する。
The wall surface structure 111 is a member that forms the wall surface of the distal end portion 110, and is a hollow cylinder in this configuration example. In the configuration of the first embodiment, the wall surface structure 111 of the distal end portion 110 is an example having a bellows structure. That is, the diameter expanding function and the diameter decreasing function of the opening / closing mechanism of the distal end portion 110 are such that the wall surface structure 111 extends by expanding the bellows structure and the side wall surface structure 111 contracts by folding the bellows structure. It has become.
In this configuration example, the bellows structure includes an outer bellows structure 111a on the outer wall surface side of the tip portion 110 and an inner bellows structure 111b on the inner wall surface side of the tip portion 110, and the expansion and contraction of the outer bellows structure 111a and the inner bellows structure are provided. The diameter-expanding function and the diameter-reducing function of the opening / closing mechanism of the distal end portion 110 are adjusted according to the difference in expansion / contraction magnitude of 111b. This diameter expansion operation and diameter reduction operation will be described in detail later.

キャビティ112は、当該壁面構造部物111により囲まれて形成された空間または領域であり、切除組織片を取り入れるスペースとなる。後述するように、キャビティ112の容積は開閉機構により展開して大きく拡径したり、閉じて小さく縮径したりすることができる。   The cavity 112 is a space or region formed by being surrounded by the wall surface structure 111, and is a space for taking in the excised tissue piece. As will be described later, the volume of the cavity 112 can be expanded by the opening / closing mechanism to greatly expand the diameter, or can be closed to decrease the diameter.

開閉接合部113は、壁面構造部物111の軸に平行に設けられた開閉可能な接合部分であり、切れ込み部分とその切れ込みを接合することができるものである。この構成例では、後述する図3に示すように軸に平行に観音開きに左右に開いたり、図8に示すように、左右から接合し合って閉じたりする。接合の構造としては特に限定されないが、この例では一方の縁に対して他方の縁が噛むように接合する方式となっている。その他にもいわゆるジッパー方式などであっても良い。
上記のように、先端部110は、壁面構造物111の一部の開閉接合部113において開閉操作が可能で展開機能、閉鎖機能を持つものとなっている。また、外蛇腹構造111a、内蛇腹構造111bを伸縮させることにより、径を大きくする拡径状態、径を収縮させた縮径状態という変形が可能な構造となっている。
The open / close joint 113 is a joint that can be opened and closed provided in parallel to the axis of the wall surface structure 111, and can join the cut portion and the cut. In this configuration example, as shown in FIG. 3 to be described later, the door is opened to the left and right in parallel with the axis, or is joined and closed from the left and right as shown in FIG. Although it does not specifically limit as a structure of joining, In this example, it is the system joined so that the other edge may bite with respect to one edge. In addition, a so-called zipper method may be used.
As described above, the distal end portion 110 can be opened and closed at a part of the opening / closing joint portion 113 of the wall structure 111 and has a deployment function and a closing function. Further, by expanding and contracting the outer bellows structure 111a and the inner bellows structure 111b, the structure can be deformed into a diameter-expanded state in which the diameter is increased and a diameter-reduced state in which the diameter is contracted.

管部120は、先端部110に連結され、先端部を患者の体外から術野からまで導入し、術後に先端部を引き抜く部材である。可撓性ある中空の管状構造物であり、先端部110が術野にアプローチした状態において術野から患者の体外まで導通する部材であることが好ましい。管部120は内部にワイヤーなどの屈曲制御機構が仕込まれており、一般の内視鏡のように手元操作機構130により屈曲制御機構を操作して進行方向を自由に変えつつ経皮孔から屈曲させながら術野に到達するまで進めることができるものとなっている。なお、管部120の内腔を切除組織片の移送経路して利用する例については実施例2以降で説明する。   The tube portion 120 is a member that is connected to the distal end portion 110, introduces the distal end portion from outside the patient's body to the surgical field, and pulls out the distal end portion after the operation. It is a flexible hollow tubular structure and is preferably a member that conducts from the surgical field to the outside of the patient's body in a state where the distal end portion 110 approaches the surgical field. The tube portion 120 is provided with a bending control mechanism such as a wire, and bends from the percutaneous hole while freely changing the advancing direction by operating the bending control mechanism by the hand operation mechanism 130 like a general endoscope. You can proceed until you reach the operative field. An example in which the lumen of the tube portion 120 is used as a transfer path for the excised tissue piece will be described in the second and subsequent embodiments.

手元操作機構130は、術者による先端部110の制動操作や管部120の制動操作を行う部分であり、先端部110および管部120の機構に対応してワイヤーの引張機構やポンプ操作機構や電気的な回路装置などが含まれる。ここでは、詳しい構造の図示は省略した。   The hand operating mechanism 130 is a portion where the operator performs a braking operation of the distal end portion 110 and a braking operation of the tube portion 120, and a wire pulling mechanism, a pump operating mechanism, and the like corresponding to the mechanisms of the distal end portion 110 and the tube portion 120. Electrical circuit devices etc. are included. Here, the detailed structure is not shown.

以下、先端部110の壁面構造部物111の展開、閉鎖、拡径、縮径により、キャビティ空間を変化させる概念を説明する。
図1では先端部110の壁面構造物111の開閉接合部113が閉じた閉鎖状態となっている。本発明ではこのように壁面構造物111が周回している状態や折りたたまれている状態を“キャビティ閉鎖状態”と呼ぶ。キャビティ閉鎖状態とは、先端部110の壁面構造部物111により内部のキャビティ112が囲まれ、外部からキャビティ112内にアプローチできない状態である。また、いわゆる収縮状態にあり径が小さくなっている縮径状態にある。
Hereinafter, the concept of changing the cavity space by developing, closing, expanding, and contracting the wall surface structure 111 of the tip 110 will be described.
In FIG. 1, the open / close joint 113 of the wall surface structure 111 of the tip 110 is in a closed state. In the present invention, the state in which the wall structure 111 circulates or is folded is referred to as a “cavity closed state”. The cavity closed state is a state in which the inner cavity 112 is surrounded by the wall surface structure 111 of the distal end portion 110 and the cavity 112 cannot be approached from the outside. Moreover, it exists in the diameter-reduced state in which it is in a so-called contracted state and the diameter is small.

次に、先端部110の壁面構造部物111の拡径機能について詳しく説明する。
図2は、先端部110の壁面構造部物111の蛇腹構造が折り畳まれている状態から展開された状態への変化を側断面において模式的に示した図である。
Next, the diameter expansion function of the wall surface structure 111 of the front end portion 110 will be described in detail.
FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing, in a side cross-section, a change from a state in which the bellows structure of the wall surface structure 111 of the tip part 110 is folded to a developed state.

図2(a)は、基本姿勢の状態の先端部110の側断面であり、蛇腹構造は折り畳まれた状態で壁面は収縮状態にある。図2(a)の状態は上記した“キャビティ閉鎖状態”となっており、内部のキャビティ112は壁面構造物111で囲まれて周囲から直接アプローチできない状態となっている。   FIG. 2A is a side cross-section of the distal end portion 110 in the basic posture. The bellows structure is in a folded state and the wall surface is in a contracted state. The state of FIG. 2A is the “cavity closed state” described above, and the internal cavity 112 is surrounded by the wall surface structure 111 and cannot be directly approached from the surroundings.

一方、図2(b)は、拡径した状態の先端部110の側断面であり、蛇腹構造は展開された状態で壁面は伸張状態にある。たとえば、外蛇腹構造111aが内蛇腹構造111bに比べて大きく伸長され、内蛇腹構造111bは比較的小さく伸長されるため、図2(b)の拡径状態の周回形状となる。図2(b)の状態は拡径状態でありつつも壁面が閉鎖した状態であるので、本発明では、この状態を“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”と呼ぶ。依然、内部のキャビティ112は壁面構造物111で囲まれて周囲から直接アプローチできない状態となっている。ただし、キャビティ112の容積は図2(a)に比べて拡がっていることが分かる。   On the other hand, FIG. 2B is a side cross-section of the tip portion 110 in an expanded state, and the bellows structure is in a developed state and the wall surface is in an expanded state. For example, the outer bellows structure 111a is greatly expanded as compared with the inner bellows structure 111b, and the inner bellows structure 111b is elongated relatively small, so that the circular shape in the expanded state of FIG. 2B is obtained. The state shown in FIG. 2B is a state in which the wall surface is closed while being in the expanded diameter state. Therefore, in the present invention, this state is referred to as a “cavity expanded diameter closed state”. The internal cavity 112 is still surrounded by the wall structure 111 and cannot be approached directly from the surroundings. However, it can be seen that the volume of the cavity 112 is larger than that in FIG.

図2に示すように、先端部110の開閉機構が壁面構造部物111の蛇腹構造を伸縮させ、その径自体を大きくした状態となっており、先端部110のキャビティ展開状態が、単に先端部110の開閉接合部113の切れ込み線を左右に開いて形成されるスペースよりも、拡径して側壁面を伸張させた後に切れ込み線を左右に開くため、形成されるスペースが大きいものとなっている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the opening / closing mechanism of the distal end portion 110 expands and contracts the bellows structure of the wall surface structure 111 to increase the diameter itself, and the cavity deployment state of the distal end portion 110 is simply the distal end portion. Since the slit line is opened left and right after expanding the diameter and extending the side wall surface, the space formed is larger than the space formed by opening the slit line of the opening / closing joint 113 of 110 to the left and right. Yes.

先端部110がこの拡径機能を備えることにより、先端部110を経皮的に生体内に侵襲させるときには先端部110を小さな径として経皮孔を小さくし、また、アプローチするために患者を貫くスペースを小さくして患者にかかる負荷を小さく保つ一方、切除組織片を回収する回収作業中には拡径して、回収作業のスペースとなるキャビティを大きく確保することができるというメリットが得られる。つまり、術野にアプローチするまでは先端部の壁面が閉鎖した“キャビティ閉鎖状態”とし、術野にアプローチ後に先端部の壁面を大きく開放した“キャビティ展開状態”とするという先端部の変形が可能な構造となっている。   When the distal end portion 110 is provided with this diameter expansion function, when the distal end portion 110 is percutaneously invaded into the living body, the distal end portion 110 is reduced in diameter to reduce the percutaneous hole and penetrate the patient for approach. While the space is reduced and the load on the patient is kept small, the diameter can be increased during the recovery operation for recovering the excised tissue piece, and a merit that a large cavity serving as a space for the recovery operation can be secured. In other words, the tip of the tip can be deformed in a “cavity closed state” where the tip wall is closed until the operative field is approached, and after the approach to the operative field, the “cavity unfolded state” is opened with the tip wall being largely open. It has a simple structure.

なお、壁面構造物111の蛇腹構造の伸縮を制御する手段は特に限定されない。例えば、壁面構造物111の蛇腹構造に対する空気の注入・排出制御によるバルーン制御手段でも良く、蛇腹構造に組み込まれたワイヤーによるワイヤー駆動手段でも良い。   The means for controlling the expansion and contraction of the bellows structure of the wall surface structure 111 is not particularly limited. For example, it may be a balloon control means by air injection / discharge control with respect to the bellows structure of the wall structure 111, or a wire drive means by a wire incorporated in the bellows structure.

次に、図3は、先端部110の壁面構造部物111が開閉接合部113を開いて左右に展開した様子を示す図である。
図3(a)は、図2(b)と同様、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”である拡径した状態の先端部110の側断面を示している。
一方、図3(b)は、図3(a)の“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”から、開閉接合部113の切れ込み線を左右に開いて壁面構造部物111の上部を大きく展開した状態を示した図である。図3(b)に示すように、先端部110が拡径状態から開閉接合部113を開き、壁面構造部物111の上部部分の蛇腹構造を折り畳むとともに、壁面構造部物111の下部部分の蛇腹構造をそのままとすることにより、開口を大きく開口した状態としている。このように、先端部110の開閉機構によって先端部110の側壁面が大きく開口した状態が“キャビティ展開状態”である。
先端部110の壁面が大きく開口した状態となり、後述するように、キャビティ112内に切除組織片を取り込む際に作業が行いやすくなる。
Next, FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the wall surface structure 111 of the distal end portion 110 opens the open / close joint portion 113 and expands left and right.
FIG. 3A shows a side cross section of the distal end portion 110 in the expanded state, which is the “cavity expanded diameter closed state”, as in FIG.
On the other hand, FIG. 3B shows a state in which the upper part of the wall surface structure 111 is greatly expanded by opening the cut line of the opening / closing joint 113 left and right from the “cavity diameter enlarged closed state” of FIG. It is a figure. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the open / close joint 113 is opened when the tip 110 is in the expanded state, the bellows structure of the upper portion of the wall surface structure 111 is folded, and the bellows of the lower portion of the wall surface structure 111 is folded. By leaving the structure as it is, the opening is in a largely open state. Thus, the state where the side wall surface of the tip portion 110 is largely opened by the opening / closing mechanism of the tip portion 110 is the “cavity developed state”.
As will be described later, the wall surface of the distal end portion 110 is greatly opened, and the work becomes easier when taking the excised tissue piece into the cavity 112.

次に、図4は、図3の構成よりもさらに先端部110の壁面構造部物111を開いて左右に展開した様子を示す図である。
図4(a)は、図3(b)と同様、“キャビティ展開状態”である拡径した状態の先端部110の側断面を示している。
Next, FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the wall surface structure 111 of the distal end portion 110 is further opened and expanded to the left and right as compared with the configuration of FIG.
FIG. 4A shows a side cross section of the distal end portion 110 in a state where the diameter is expanded, which is a “cavity developed state”, as in FIG. 3B.

一方、図4(b)は、図4(a)の“キャビティ展開状態”から、さらに、上部の切れ込み線を左右に開いて大きく展開した状態を示した図である。先端部110の壁面構造物が少なくとも1箇所、この例では、左右1箇所ずつ側壁面の角度を変える蝶番構造114を備えたものとなっており、図4(b)に示すように、先端部110が拡径状態から左右の側壁面の角度を蝶番部分1114で変更することで左右にいわゆる観音開きでさらに離隔し、大きく開口した状態となる。蝶番部分1114で角度を変更するとともに併せて壁面構造物111の外蛇腹構造111aを少し収縮させるものとなっている。図4に示した“キャビティ展開状態”のキャビティ112の作業領域は、図3に比べてさらに広く確保できるものとなっている。   On the other hand, FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a state in which the upper cut line is further opened to the left and right and further expanded from the “cavity developed state” of FIG. The wall structure of the tip portion 110 is provided with a hinge structure 114 that changes the angle of the side wall surface at least one place, in this example, one place on the left and right sides. As shown in FIG. By changing the angle of the left and right side wall surfaces with the hinge portion 1114 from the diameter-expanded state 110, the left and right sides are further separated by a so-called double door opening, and a large opening state is obtained. The angle is changed by the hinge portion 1114 and the outer bellows structure 111a of the wall surface structure 111 is slightly contracted together. The work area of the cavity 112 in the “cavity unfolded state” shown in FIG. 4 can be secured more widely than that in FIG.

以上の先端部110の変形により、基本姿勢である“キャビティ閉鎖状態”から“キャビティ展開状態”へ変化させることができる。   By the deformation of the tip portion 110 as described above, the basic posture can be changed from the “cavity closed state” to the “cavity deployed state”.

図5は、図1に示した基本姿勢である“キャビティ閉鎖状態”から“キャビティ展開状態”へ変化した様子を簡単に示す図である。図5に示すように、先端部110のキャビティ112が術野において大きく開口したキャビティ展開状態となることにより、開口を介して周囲からアクセス可能な状態となっており、後述するように、電気メスで切除した切除組織片を投入できる状態となっている。 “キャビティ展開状態”では術野からキャビティ112内へアクセス可能な状態となっている。つまり、キャビティ展開状態では先端部110の壁面構造物111が一種の器や皿のように切除組織片を一時的に貯留する領域を提供するものとなっている。   FIG. 5 is a diagram simply showing a state in which the basic posture shown in FIG. 1 is changed from the “cavity closed state” to the “cavity deployed state”. As shown in FIG. 5, the cavity 112 of the distal end portion 110 is in a state where the cavity 112 is greatly opened in the operative field, so that it can be accessed from the surroundings through the opening. It is in a state where the excised tissue piece excised by (1) can be inserted. In the “cavity deployed state”, the cavity 112 can be accessed from the surgical field. That is, in the cavity deployment state, the wall surface structure 111 of the distal end portion 110 provides an area for temporarily storing the excised tissue piece like a kind of vessel or dish.

なお、図5の例は、筒状の先端部110の壁面構造部物111の展開は、先端部110の側壁面に軸と平行な開閉接合部が設けられており、その開閉接合部を中心として側壁面が左右方向(軸の周回方向)に切り開かれて大きく展開する例であるが、先端部の側壁面の開閉接合部の切れ込み形状としては多様な形状が可能であり、図5の例に限定はされない。   In the example of FIG. 5, the development of the wall surface structure 111 of the cylindrical tip portion 110 is such that an opening / closing joint portion parallel to the axis is provided on the side wall surface of the tip portion 110, and the opening / closing joint portion is the center. 5 is an example in which the side wall surface is cut open in the left-right direction (circular direction of the shaft) and expanded widely, but various shapes are possible as the cut-off shape of the opening / closing joint portion of the side wall surface of the tip portion, as shown in FIG. It is not limited to.

次に、手術中における術者による本発明の切除組織片回収装置100への切除組織片の投入について説明する。
図6は、本発明の切除組織片回収装置100と、電気メスなどの組織片を切除する切除装置200の人体患部へのアクセスの概念を模式的に示す図である。本発明の切除組織片回収装置100、切除装置200、腫瘍などの患部300とも簡易に示している。
図6の例では、切除組織片回収装置100は、電気メスなど組織片を切除する切除装置200とは別の独立した構成となっており、この例では患部のある術野までのアプローチも別経路であり、経皮孔も別に設けられている。
Next, the insertion of the excised tissue piece into the excised tissue piece collection device 100 of the present invention by the operator during the operation will be described.
FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing the concept of access to the affected part of the excised tissue piece collection device 100 of the present invention and the excision device 200 for excising a tissue piece such as an electric knife. The excised tissue piece collection device 100, the excision device 200, and the affected part 300 such as a tumor of the present invention are also shown in a simplified manner.
In the example of FIG. 6, the excised tissue piece collection device 100 has an independent configuration different from the excision device 200 that excises a tissue piece such as an electric knife, and in this example, the approach to the surgical field where the affected area is located is also different. It is a route and a percutaneous hole is also provided separately.

このように、切除組織片回収装置100を切除装置200とは別構成にすることにより、両装置は別々に自在に操作することができ、操作性の自由度が増す。また、切除の施術者は切除装置200を用いて患部300の切除に集中することができ、一方、切除された組織片の回収は、切除組織片回収装置100の施術者が切除組織片の回収に集中することができるため、作業効率も向上する。   Thus, by making the excision tissue piece collection | recovery apparatus 100 different from the excision apparatus 200, both apparatus can be operated freely separately and the freedom degree of operativity increases. In addition, the practitioner can concentrate on excision of the affected part 300 using the excision apparatus 200, while the excision of the excised tissue piece is collected by the practitioner of the excised tissue piece collection apparatus 100. Work efficiency is also improved.

図7は、切除装置200を操作している施術者が、切除した患部300の組織片310を切除組織片回収装置100のキャビティ112に投入している様子を示す図である。図7でも切除組織片回収装置100、切除装置200、腫瘍などの切除組織片310とも簡易に示している。
図7に示すように、切除組織片回収装置100の先端部110は“キャビティ展開状態”にあり、上部が開口しており、切除装置200が開口からキャビティ112内に対して腫瘍などの切除組織片310を投入できるようになっている。腹腔鏡式の切除装置200は、先端に把持機構などを備え、腫瘍などの組織片を摘みながら電気やレーザーなどで焼き切るものが多く、切除した組織片を把持した状態のまま、傍らにある切除組織片回収装置100のキャビティ112に対して切除組織片を移動させ、把持を離すことによりキャビティ112内に投入することが可能である。
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a practitioner operating the resecting apparatus 200 is throwing the excised tissue piece 310 of the affected part 300 into the cavity 112 of the excised tissue piece collecting apparatus 100. FIG. 7 also shows the excised tissue piece collection device 100, the excision device 200, and the excised tissue piece 310 such as a tumor in a simplified manner.
As shown in FIG. 7, the distal end portion 110 of the excised tissue piece collection device 100 is in the “cavity deployment state”, the upper portion is open, and the excision device 200 is excised from the opening into the cavity 112 such as a tumor. The piece 310 can be inserted. The laparoscopic excision device 200 has a grasping mechanism at the tip, and is often burned off by electricity or laser while picking up a tissue piece such as a tumor, and the excision beside it while holding the excised tissue piece. The excisional tissue piece can be moved into the cavity 112 of the tissue piece collecting apparatus 100 and can be put into the cavity 112 by releasing the grip.

この操作は、あたかも開腹手術において、施術者がメスで切り取った組織片を傍らのトレーなどに載せ置くという作業と似たイメージであり、切除装置200の操作者は効率良く自らの切除作業を実行できる。
一方、切除組織片回収装置100の施術者は、キャビティ112に随時投入されて来る切除組織片310を次々と処理して管部120を介して患者の体外へ移送する作業に専念することができる。
This operation is similar to an operation in which a practitioner places a tissue piece cut with a scalpel on a side tray or the like in a laparotomy, and the operator of the resecting apparatus 200 performs his or her resection efficiently. it can.
On the other hand, the practitioner of the excised tissue piece collection device 100 can concentrate on the work of successively treating the excised tissue pieces 310 that are introduced into the cavity 112 and transferring them to the outside of the patient through the tube 120. .

次に、切除組織片回収装置100による切除組織片310の移送について説明する。
本実施例1では、切除組織片310を潰さずに病理検査に回すためそのまま回収する方法により移送する例を説明する。
切除組織片回収装置100は、切除組織片310の回収作業において、適当なタイミングにて“キャビティ展開状態”となっていた壁面構造物を閉じ、図8(a)に示すように“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”にする。図8に示すように、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”において、内部には切除組織片310が取り入れられているが、先端部110が拡径してキャビティ112の容積が大きくなっているため、切除組織片310をキャビティ内部に取り入れた状態で壁面構造物111の壁面を接合させて“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”とすることができる。
Next, transfer of the excised tissue piece 310 by the excised tissue piece collection apparatus 100 will be described.
In the first embodiment, an example will be described in which the excised tissue piece 310 is transferred by a method of collecting the excised tissue piece 310 as it is for use in pathological examination without crushing.
The excised tissue piece collection device 100 closes the wall structure that has been in the “cavity developed state” at an appropriate timing in the collection operation of the excised tissue piece 310, and as shown in FIG. “Closed”. As shown in FIG. 8, in the “cavity enlarged diameter closed state”, the excised tissue piece 310 is incorporated inside, but the distal end portion 110 is enlarged in diameter and the volume of the cavity 112 is increased. The wall surface of the wall surface structure 111 can be joined in a state in which the tissue piece 310 is taken into the cavity, and a “cavity diameter expansion closed state” can be obtained.

もっとも、キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態にはできない程に大きな切除組織片310がキャビティ展開状態にてキャビティ112内に投入されている場合は、壁面構造物111を閉じることなくそのまま切除組織片310を回収するという運用を除外するものではない。
次に、“キャビティ縮径閉鎖状態”について説明する。本実施例1では切除組織片310を潰さずに病理検査に回すためそのまま回収するが、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”のままでは径が大きく、そのまま引き抜くことは患者の負担が大きくなる。そこで、本実施例1では切除組織片310を潰さずできるだけ径を小さく収縮させる工夫を行う。
However, when the excised tissue piece 310 that is so large that it cannot be brought into the cavity expanded diameter closed state is put into the cavity 112 in the cavity expanded state, the excised tissue piece 310 is recovered as it is without closing the wall surface structure 111. This does not exclude the operation.
Next, the “cavity reduced diameter closed state” will be described. In the first embodiment, the excised tissue piece 310 is collected as it is for pathological examination without being crushed. However, the diameter is large in the “cavity enlarged diameter closed state”, and pulling out as it is increases the burden on the patient. Therefore, in the first embodiment, a device is devised to shrink the diameter as small as possible without crushing the excised tissue piece 310.

図9は先端部110を“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”から“キャビティ縮径閉鎖状態”に変形する様子を示している。
“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”から“キャビティ閉鎖状態”に戻すにあたっては、壁面構造物111が蛇腹構造で伸張していたので、エアーを使ったバルーン方式の場合はポンプを操作してエアーを抜いて蛇腹構造を折り畳んで収縮させる。ワイヤー方式の場合はワイヤーを操作して蛇腹構造を折り畳んで収縮させる。図9(a)の“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”では、術野にまで先端部110をアクセスさせた経路の径よりも大きく、その状態で先端部110を引き抜こうとすると生体を傷つけるおそれがある。そこで、図9(b)に示すように、先端部110の蛇腹構造を畳んで“キャビティ縮径閉鎖状態”とすれば、径が小さくなり、切除組織片回収装置100を体外へ引き抜く際に先端部110がつかえるという不具合が発生せず、患者の体に負荷をかけることなく切除組織片回収装置100を体外へスムーズに引き抜くことができる。なお、先端部110の内部には切除組織片310が入っているので、図1の“キャビティ閉鎖状態”にまで戻らず、胴部のうちの一部分について少し膨らんだ状態のままとなる場合がある。
FIG. 9 shows a state in which the distal end portion 110 is deformed from the “cavity enlarged diameter closed state” to the “cavity reduced diameter closed state”.
When returning from the “cavity enlarged diameter closed state” to the “cavity closed state”, the wall structure 111 was stretched with a bellows structure. In the case of a balloon system using air, the pump is operated to remove the air. The bellows structure is folded and contracted. In the case of the wire system, the bellows structure is folded by operating the wire and contracted. In the “cavity enlarged diameter closed state” in FIG. 9A, the diameter of the path is larger than the path through which the distal end portion 110 is accessed to the operative field, and if the distal end portion 110 is pulled out in this state, the living body may be damaged. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9B, if the bellows structure of the distal end portion 110 is folded into the “cavity reduced diameter closed state”, the diameter becomes smaller, and the distal end when the excised tissue piece collection device 100 is pulled out of the body is reduced. The trouble that the part 110 can be used does not occur, and the excised tissue piece collection device 100 can be smoothly pulled out of the body without applying a load to the patient's body. In addition, since the excision tissue piece 310 is contained inside the distal end portion 110, there is a case where a part of the trunk portion remains in a slightly swollen state without returning to the “cavity closed state” in FIG. .

図10は、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”にある先端部110を“キャビティ縮径閉鎖状態”とした全体の様子を示す図である。本発明の切除組織片回収装置100や切除組織片310などは簡易に示している。図10(a)に示すように、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”にある先端部110を図10(b)に示すように“キャビティ縮径閉鎖状態”とすると、胴部のうちの一部分について少し膨らんだ状態であるが、図10(a)の“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”より先端部110ごと引き抜きやすくなっていることが分かる。
図10(b)の“キャビティ縮径閉鎖状態”にある先端部110ごと管部120を引き出すことにより、先端部110のキャビティ112内に蓄えられた切除組織片をそのまま体外へ取り出すことができる。
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an entire state in which the distal end portion 110 in the “cavity diameter expansion closed state” is in the “cavity diameter diameter closed state”. The excised tissue piece collection device 100 and the excised tissue piece 310 of the present invention are shown in a simplified manner. As shown in FIG. 10A, when the tip portion 110 in the “cavity diameter expansion closed state” is in the “cavity diameter reduction closed state” as shown in FIG. Although it is in an inflated state, it can be seen that it is easier to pull out the entire tip 110 than in the “cavity enlarged diameter closed state” in FIG.
By pulling out the tube portion 120 together with the distal end portion 110 in the “cavity reduced diameter closed state” in FIG. 10B, the excised tissue pieces stored in the cavity 112 of the distal end portion 110 can be directly taken out of the body.

以上、本実施例1にかかる本発明の切除組織片回収装置100によれば、患者に対して低侵襲で先端部を、腫瘍切除などの術野にアプローチさせるまでは先端部の径、管部の径は当初小さくしておき、術野に到達した後は、作業効率を高めるため、先端部のキャビティを大きく展開した状態として作業効率を向上することができる。また、切除組織片回収装置100によれば、先端部のキャビティ内に取り入れた切除組織片をそのまま他の正常組織に接触させることなく体外に回収することができる。   As described above, according to the excised tissue piece collection device 100 of the present invention according to the first embodiment, the distal end diameter and the tube portion are reduced until the patient approaches the surgical field such as tumor excision with minimal invasiveness. In order to increase the work efficiency after reaching the operative field, the work efficiency can be improved with the distal end portion of the cavity being greatly expanded. Further, according to the excised tissue piece collection device 100, the excised tissue piece taken into the cavity at the distal end can be collected outside the body without being brought into contact with other normal tissues.

次に、実施例2にかかる切除組織片回収装置100aを説明する。
実施例2にかかる切除組織片回収装置100aは、先端部110aの壁面構造物111については実施例1の壁面構造物111と同様であるが、先端部110aに取り込んだ切除組織片310を移送する手段が異なっている。実施例2の切除組織片310の回収・移送は、切除組織片310に対して陰圧をかけて管部120の内腔に向けて吸引し、切除組織片310が潰れながら体外に吸引されて回収・移送されるものである。
Next, an excised tissue piece collection apparatus 100a according to Example 2 will be described.
The resected tissue piece collecting apparatus 100a according to the second embodiment is similar to the wall surface structure 111 of the first embodiment with respect to the wall surface structure 111 of the distal end portion 110a, but transfers the resected tissue piece 310 taken into the distal end portion 110a. Means are different. In the recovery and transfer of the excised tissue piece 310 according to the second embodiment, negative pressure is applied to the excised tissue piece 310 and sucked toward the lumen of the tube 120, and the excised tissue piece 310 is sucked out of the body while being crushed. It is collected and transferred.

切除組織片310の回収にあたって、切除組織片310を病理検査に回す場合には切除組織片310を潰さずそのまま取り出す必要があり、実施例1では“キャビティ縮径閉鎖状態”として管部120を先端部110aごと引き抜くことで切除組織片310を回収・移送したが、切除組織片310を病理検査に回す必要がない場合、切除組織片310を細かく潰して取り出しても良い。そこで、本実施例2では、連通している管部120に対してポンプなどにより管部120の内腔に陰圧を与えて切除組織片310を管部120の内腔に向けて吸引し、切除組織片310が柔らかく潰れやすいものであれば、あたかもストローでジェル状物質を吸い出すが如く、切除組織片310を潰しながら体外に回収・移送する。切除組織片310が大きい場合は内腔に詰まってしまうという不具合が起こるが、管部120の内腔径よりも細かい場合または切除組織片310が柔らかく陰圧の吸引過程により細かく潰れる場合、吸引手段はきわめて効率的に切除組織片310を体外へ移送する手段である。   When the excised tissue piece 310 is collected, when the excised tissue piece 310 is sent to a pathological examination, the excised tissue piece 310 needs to be taken out without being crushed. The excised tissue piece 310 is recovered and transferred by pulling out the entire portion 110a. However, when the excised tissue piece 310 does not need to be used for pathological examination, the excised tissue piece 310 may be finely crushed and taken out. Therefore, in this second embodiment, a negative pressure is applied to the lumen of the tube portion 120 by a pump or the like to the communicating tube portion 120 to suck the excised tissue piece 310 toward the lumen of the tube portion 120, If the excised tissue piece 310 is soft and easily crushed, the excised tissue piece 310 is collected and transported outside the body while crushing the excised tissue piece 310 as if the gel-like substance is sucked out with a straw. When the excision tissue piece 310 is large, there is a problem that the lumen is clogged. However, when the excision tissue piece 310 is finer than the lumen diameter of the tube part 120 or when the excision tissue piece 310 is soft and finely crushed by the negative pressure suction process, suction means Is a means of transferring the excised tissue piece 310 out of the body very efficiently.

図11は、移送手段として吸引手段を用いた管部120を介した切除組織片310の移送の様子を示す図である。本実施例2の切除組織片回収装置100aや切除組織片310などは簡易に示している。図10に示すように、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”にあるキャビティ112内の切除組織片310が次々と吸引され、管部120を介して体外のトレーに排出されている。   FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state of transfer of the excised tissue piece 310 through the tube portion 120 using suction means as transfer means. The excised tissue piece collection device 100a and the excised tissue piece 310 of the second embodiment are simply shown. As shown in FIG. 10, the excised tissue pieces 310 in the cavity 112 in the “cavity diameter expansion closed state” are sucked one after another and discharged to the tray outside the body through the tube part 120.

本実施例2の切除組織片回収装置100aを体外へ回収する時点ではすでに内部に切除組織片310が体外へ吸引されているので、図12に示すように、先端部110を図1の“キャビティ閉鎖状態”に戻すことができ、管部120ごと簡単に体外へ引き出すことができる。   Since the excised tissue piece 310 has already been sucked out of the body when the excised tissue piece collection device 100a of the second embodiment is collected outside the body, as shown in FIG. It can be returned to the “closed state” and can be easily pulled out of the body together with the tube portion 120.

以上、本実施例2にかかる本発明の切除組織片回収装置100aによれば、術野で切除組織片310を取り込んだ後は、管部120の内腔に陰圧を与えて管部120の内腔に向けて吸引し、切除組織片310を潰しながら体外に吸引回収・移送することができ、作業効率を向上させることができる。   As described above, according to the excised tissue piece collection device 100a of the present invention according to the second embodiment, after the excised tissue piece 310 is taken in the surgical field, negative pressure is applied to the lumen of the pipe portion 120 to Aspiration can be performed toward the lumen, and the excised tissue piece 310 can be crushed and aspirated / collected / transferred outside the body, thereby improving work efficiency.

次に、実施例3にかかる切除組織片回収装置100bを説明する。
実施例3にかかる切除組織片回収装置100bは、先端部110bの壁面構造物111については実施例1の壁面構造物111と同様であるが、キャビティ112内に切除組織片破砕装置115が設けられている構成例となっている。切除組織片310の回収・移送時に切除組織片310を切除組織片破砕装置115により破砕処理を行って細かくし、体外に回収・移送するものである。
Next, an excised tissue piece collection apparatus 100b according to Example 3 will be described.
The resected tissue piece collecting apparatus 100b according to the third embodiment is similar to the wall surface structure 111 of the first embodiment with respect to the wall surface structure 111 of the distal end portion 110b, but a resected tissue piece crushing device 115 is provided in the cavity 112. It is a configuration example. When the excised tissue piece 310 is collected and transferred, the excised tissue piece 310 is crushed by the excised tissue piece crushing device 115 to be finely divided and collected and transferred outside the body.

実施例3も実施例2の場合と同様、切除組織片310を病理検査に回す必要がない場合、切除組織片310を細かく潰して取り出しても良い場合において、ポンプなどにより管部120の内腔に陰圧を与えて切除組織片310を管部120の内腔に向けて吸引して回収・移送すればよいが、切除組織片310が潰れにくいものであれば、管部120の内腔に与える陰圧が大きくなってしまう。そこで、本実施例3は、切除組織片破砕装置115を用いて切除組織片310を潰しながら体外に回収・移送する支援を行うものである。   Similarly to the case of the second embodiment, in the case where the excised tissue piece 310 does not need to be used for pathological examination, the lumen of the tube portion 120 can be obtained by a pump or the like when the excised tissue piece 310 may be finely crushed and taken out. The ablated tissue piece 310 may be sucked toward the lumen of the tube part 120 and collected / transferred by applying negative pressure to the tube part 120. However, if the ablated tissue piece 310 is not easily crushed, The negative pressure to be given will increase. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the excision tissue fragment crushing device 115 is used to assist the recovery and transfer outside the body while crushing the excision tissue fragment 310.

図13は、本実施例3にかかる切除組織片回収装置100bの一構成例を示す図である。
先端部110bの中に組み込まれた切除組織片破砕装置115が簡単に図示されている。切除組織片破砕装置115の構造は、例えば刃先のついた回転カッターであり、実施例3の構成例では円柱形の表面にカッターを設けた2軸の回転体であり、切除組織片310が2軸で回転する回転体により細かく切断されてゆく例となっている。その他にも超音波を切除組織片に照射して細かく砕く破砕装置などがある。
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the excised tissue piece collection device 100b according to the third embodiment.
The excised tissue fragmentation device 115 incorporated in the tip 110b is shown schematically. The structure of the excised tissue piece crushing device 115 is, for example, a rotary cutter with a cutting edge. In the configuration example of the third embodiment, the excised tissue piece 310 is a biaxial rotating body provided with a cutter on a cylindrical surface. It is an example of being finely cut by a rotating body that rotates on a shaft. In addition, there is a crushing device that irradiates an excised tissue piece with ultrasonic waves and pulverizes it finely.

ここで、切除組織片破砕装置115が稼働すると切除組織片310の組織片が機械的に細かく潰されるため、周囲に細胞片の残渣や体液などが飛び散る場合がある。この不具合を防止するため、切除組織片310の回収作業において、適当なタイミングにて"キャビティ展開状態"となっていた壁面構造物111を閉じ、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”にした後に切除組織片破砕装置115を稼働させる。なお、切除組織片破砕装置115の大きさ・構造・配置が、キャビティ112内に切除組織片310を取り込んだ後にキャビティ拡径閉鎖状態とした状態にて稼働可能なものが好ましい。   Here, when the excised tissue piece crushing device 115 is operated, the tissue pieces of the excised tissue piece 310 are mechanically crushed finely, and thus cell debris and body fluid may be scattered around. In order to prevent this inconvenience, in the recovery operation of the excised tissue piece 310, the wall structure 111 that has been in the “cavity expanded state” is closed at an appropriate timing, and then the excised tissue piece is put into the “cavity expanded diameter closed state”. The crushing device 115 is operated. In addition, it is preferable that the size, structure, and arrangement of the excised tissue piece crushing device 115 be operable in a state in which the cavity enlarged diameter is closed after taking the excised tissue piece 310 into the cavity 112.

図14(a)は、“キャビティ閉鎖状態”における先端部110bの内部構造を簡単に示した図、図14(b)は“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態” における先端部110bの内部構造を簡単に示した図である。
図15(a)は、“キャビティ展開状態” における先端部110bの内部構造を簡単に示した図、図15(b)は、蝶番を用いてさらに展開した“キャビティ展開状態” における先端部110bの内部構造を簡単に示した図である。
図14(b)に示したように、壁面構造物111を閉じ、"キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態"とすれば、切除組織片破砕装置115を稼働させて切除組織片310の破砕処理を行っても周囲に破砕残渣が飛び散らないようにすることができる。
14A is a diagram simply showing the internal structure of the tip 110b in the “cavity closed state”, and FIG. 14B simply shows the internal structure of the tip 110b in the “cavity enlarged diameter closed state”. It is a figure.
FIG. 15A is a diagram simply showing the internal structure of the tip portion 110b in the “cavity deployed state”, and FIG. 15B is a view of the tip portion 110b in the “cavity deployed state” further deployed using a hinge. It is the figure which showed the internal structure simply.
As shown in FIG. 14B, if the wall surface structure 111 is closed and the cavity is enlarged, the excision tissue fragment crushing device 115 is operated and the excision tissue fragment 310 is crushed. It is possible to prevent crushing residues from splashing around.

図16は、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”において、キャビティ112内で切除組織片破砕装置115を稼動させ切除組織片310を破砕している様子を示す図である。図16(a)に示すように、切除組織片破砕装置115による切除組織片310の破砕処理前は、切除組織片310の径は管部120の径よりも大きいものであり、そのままでは管部120から移送することができない。しかし、図16(b)に示すように、切除組織片破砕装置115によって切除組織片310の組織片を細かく破砕すれば、切除組織片310の径は管部120の径よりも小さくなり、管部120を用いた移送作業が容易となる。   FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the excised tissue piece crushing device 115 is operated in the cavity 112 to crush the excised tissue piece 310 in the “cavity diameter expansion closed state”. As shown in FIG. 16 (a), the diameter of the excised tissue piece 310 is larger than the diameter of the tube portion 120 before the excision tissue piece 310 is crushed by the excised tissue piece crushing device 115. Cannot be transferred from 120. However, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), if the tissue piece of the excised tissue piece 310 is finely crushed by the excised tissue piece crushing device 115, the diameter of the excised tissue piece 310 becomes smaller than the diameter of the tube portion 120. The transfer work using the unit 120 is facilitated.

次に、管部120を介した切除組織片310の移送について説明する。
本実施例3では、切除組織片破砕装置115によって切除組織片310の破砕処理を行っているので、管部120の内腔に陰圧を与えることにより管部120を介して切除組織片310を体外へ移送する。
Next, transfer of the excised tissue piece 310 through the tube part 120 will be described.
In the third embodiment, the excised tissue piece 310 is crushed by the excised tissue piece crushing device 115, so that the negative pressure is applied to the lumen of the pipe portion 120 to remove the excised tissue piece 310 via the pipe portion 120. Transport outside the body.

図17は、移送手段として吸引手段を用いた管部120を介した切除組織片310の移送の様子を示す図である。本実施例3の切除組織片回収装置100bや切除組織片310などは簡易に示している。図17に示すように、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”にあるキャビティ112内の切除組織片310が次々と吸引され、管部120を介して体外のトレーに排出されている。
なお、本実施例3の切除組織片回収装置100aを体外へ回収する時点では、すでに内部に切除組織片310が体外へ吸引されているので、図18に示すように、先端部110を図1の“キャビティ閉鎖状態”に戻すことができ、管部120ごと簡単に体外へ引き出すことができる。
FIG. 17 is a view showing a state of transfer of the excised tissue piece 310 through the tube portion 120 using suction means as transfer means. The excised tissue piece collection device 100b and the excised tissue piece 310 of the third embodiment are simply shown. As shown in FIG. 17, the excised tissue pieces 310 in the cavity 112 in the “cavity diameter expansion closed state” are sucked one after another and discharged to the tray outside the body through the tube part 120.
Note that, when the excised tissue piece collection device 100a according to the third embodiment is collected outside the body, the excised tissue piece 310 has already been sucked out of the body, so that the distal end portion 110 is shown in FIG. The “cavity closed state” can be returned to, and the tube portion 120 can be easily pulled out of the body.

以上、本実施例3にかかる本発明の切除組織片回収装置100bによれば、切除組織片破砕装置115を備えることにより、切除組織片310の回収・移送時に切除組織片破砕装置115によって切除組織片310の破砕処理を行って細かくし、体外に回収・移送することができる。   As described above, according to the excised tissue piece collecting device 100b of the present invention according to the third embodiment, the excised tissue piece crushing device 115 is provided, so that the excised tissue piece crushing device 115 collects the excised tissue piece 310 when the excised tissue piece 310 is collected and transferred. The pieces 310 can be crushed and made finer, and recovered and transported outside the body.

なお、管部120の内空に陰圧を掛ける手段ではなく、把持引き出し手段も適用可能である。つまり、先端に把持部を備えた把持装置121を管部120の内腔内に通し入れ、その把持装置121を利用して把持部で掴んだ切除組織片310を体外へ引き出す手段である。この手段は、例えば、吸引手段が利用できない術野環境の場合には有効な手段である。また、吸引手段では、管部120内に詰まってしまうおそれが高い切除組織片310を引き出す場合などにも有効な手段である。   Note that gripping / drawing means can be applied instead of means for applying a negative pressure to the inner space of the pipe portion 120. That is, the grasping device 121 having a grasping portion at the tip is inserted into the lumen of the tube portion 120, and the excision tissue piece 310 grasped by the grasping portion using the grasping device 121 is pulled out of the body. For example, this means is an effective means in the case of a surgical field environment where the suction means cannot be used. Further, the suction means is an effective means for pulling out the excised tissue piece 310 that is highly likely to be clogged in the tube portion 120.

図19は、移送手段として把持引き出し手段を用いた管部120を介した切除組織片310の移送の様子を示す図である。本発明の切除組織片回収装置100や切除組織片310などは簡易に示している。図19に示すように、“キャビティ拡径閉鎖状態”にあるキャビティ112内の切除組織片310が次々と把持装置121により把持された状態で管部120を介して引き出され、体外のトレーに排出されている。   FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a state of transfer of the excised tissue piece 310 through the tube portion 120 using the gripping and pulling means as the transferring means. The excised tissue piece collection device 100 and the excised tissue piece 310 of the present invention are shown in a simplified manner. As shown in FIG. 19, the excised tissue pieces 310 in the cavity 112 in the “cavity diameter-enlarged closed state” are successively pulled out through the tube part 120 while being gripped by the gripping device 121 and discharged to the tray outside the body. Has been.
