Abstract

The utility model relates to measuring technique and can be used to determine the volume when removing breast tissue in oncology. The purpose of creating a utility model is to increase the measurement accuracy, which will lead to a significant improvement in the aesthetic result of the operation due to the endoprosthesis correctly selected in terms of volume, increasing the convenience for transferring the device, immersing and removing breast tissue. This goal is achieved by the fact that the device for measuring the tissue volume of the removed preparation is made in the form of a plastic flask (1) from 2000 ml to 3000 ml in volume, the flask is equipped with two vertical handles (2) and level markers with a division price of 20 ml. Using a metal chain with a length of at least 400 mm, a clothespin (3) is fixed to the plastic flask with the possibility of hanging on the outer case of the device on a hook (4). 1 ill.

Description

The utility model relates to measuring technique and can be used to determine the volume when removing breast tissue in oncology. According to the World Health Organization, about 1.5 million new cases of breast cancer (BC) are registered annually in the world [1]. Modern tactics in the treatment of patients with a diagnosis of breast cancer stage I-II involves surgical treatment in the amount of radical mastectomy with plastic endoprosthesis [2]. At the same time, the correct selection of the volume of the endoprosthesis contributes to aesthetic success during the operation, and, therefore, the woman's satisfaction with the result [3, 4]. In practice, a difference in volume of 20 ml or less is considered not significant and leads to static and dynamic asymmetry.

Known MEASURED CAPACITY FOR MEASURING COMPONENTS OF Porridge (RU 108 137 10.09.2011 Bull. No. 25), used to measure volume. The disadvantage of this device is the lack of convenient handles for moving with a capacity of 2000-3000 ml and the inability to fix the removed preparation, and, therefore, its removal from the container for subsequent histological examination. The division price of this device is also not suitable for measuring removed breast tissue.

Known MEASURED VESSEL FOR SPILLING LIQUID (RU 107 349 08/10/2011 Bull. No. 22). This device is suitable for measuring a remote preparation, but the lack of handles for transfer and a tool for immersion and extraction of breast tissue reduces the usability. The division price during measurement does not meet the requirements for this operation.

The purpose of creating a utility model is to increase the measurement accuracy, which will lead to a significant improvement in the aesthetic result of the operation due to the endoprosthesis correctly selected in terms of volume; increased convenience for device transfer, immersion and extraction of breast tissue.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the device for measuring the tissue volume of the removed preparation is made in the form of a plastic flask with a volume from 2000 mm to 3000 ml and is equipped with an external hook, a clothespin, two vertical handles and level marks with a division price of 20 ml, and the clothespin is located for hanging on an external hook and attached to the flask through a metal chain with a length of at least 400 mm.

Comparison of the proposed device with others known in the field of medicine, shows its compliance with the criteria of a utility model.

The utility model is illustrated by graphic material.

In Fig. 1 shows a device for measuring tissue volume of a removed preparation.

It consists of a plastic flask (1) with vertical handles (2) and a clothespin (3) fixed to it with the help of a metal chain with the possibility of hanging on the outer case of the device on a hook (4).

A device for measuring tissue volume of a removed preparation is used as follows. When performing a subcutaneous mastectomy with plastic surgery by an endoprosthesis in a patient diagnosed with breast cancer, a skin incision is made. The next step is subcutaneous removal of breast tissue with a tumor with adjacent fiber. 1000 ml of water is poured into a device for measuring the volume of a removed preparation. The removed preparation is fixed with a linen hoe and immersed in the device. For measured risks with a division rate of 20 ml, the liquid level is measured by the difference in the new volume and 1000 ml determine the volume of the removed drug. The next step is to pull the breast tissue out of the chain and, after removing it from the hoe, send it for histological examination. Water is poured from the device using two vertical handles for transfer. Rinse the device under running water for 5-10 minutes. The hanger is hung on a hook located on the device. After measuring the volume of the removed preparation, the necessary endoprosthesis is selected. Produce regional lymphatic dissection. For drainage of the wound, tubular drains are used. The endoprosthesis selected by volume is installed, and the postoperative wound is sutured in layers. Apply an aseptic dressing.

Using the proposed device will allow

1. increase the accuracy of the measurement of the removed preparation, which will lead to a significant improvement in the aesthetic result of the operation due to the endoprosthesis correctly selected in terms of volume,

2. increase the convenience of transferring the device,

3. Improve the convenience when immersing and removing breast tissue.
