Definitions

• the invention relates to an instrument with a handle piece and a coaxial protective tube after the Oberbe handle of claim 1.
• Such instruments are used in laparoscopic, gynecological and arthroscopic surgery. After insertion of the surgical instrument, it is for laparoscopic surgery, e.g. in the case of de-gallbladder removal, it is particularly important that secreted or released body fluid, in particular blood, is aspirated and, if necessary, the operating area can be rinsed and the rinsing fluid can be aspirated with the body fluid.
• the protective tube contains an inner annular channel and an outer annular channel, which concentrically surround one another and open out at the blunt front end of the protective tube. From the rear end of the two channels serving as suction or rinsing channels, radially outwardly directed line connections originate, each of which is provided with a shut-off element which carries its own actuating element.
• One annular channel is provided with a channel extension through which an instrument with a working part can be advanced over the level of the mouths of the channels.
• a concentric inner tube is immovably provided in a protective tube, by means of which tubular optics and probes can be displaced, which, depending on requirements, can be inserted into and out of the inner tube through the rear end be completely pulled out.
• the individual parts of the instrument set make this surgical instrument unwieldy. Simultaneous suction / rinsing and surgical treatment of a body cavity area are not possible.
• DE 23 64 692 B2 describes a surgical instrument with a tube which can be axially advanced in an outer body.
• the outer body is a suction cup and the tube which can be pushed forward is designed as a puncture tube which is ground on the tip and through which a drainage hose runs.
• This instrument is intended for aspirating the liquid content of cyst-like tumors; the instrument is not suitable for flushing the work area during surgical interventions.
• Coaxial tubes movable relative to each other are shown in a surgical suction device WO 81/03125 AI.
• An inner tube which is firmly connected to a handle and is connected to a line is provided at its tip with wall holes of different sizes.
• the passage cross section of the wall holes of the inner tube can be regulated by release or covering and thus control the suction power of the device.
• this adjustability would have no discernible advantage, especially since fluid jets spraying radially from the inner tube could not specifically reach a working area lying in the axial direction of the tube.
• the only passageway limits the application to only one media flow direction.
• the object of the invention is to provide an instru ment of the type mentioned, which is characterized by high suction and / or rinsing effectiveness and is easy to handle.
• a flushing liquid can, for example, be flushed into the operating area with pressure and then suctioned off, the pipes with connected flexible pressure or suction lines being connected in a simple manner via the shut-off elements of the operating part in a centrally controlled manner or being blocked against them.
• One of the tubes can be used to insert an instrument for surgery into a body cavity from the rear and the other tube can be pushed forward from the protective tube into the operating area in order to specifically perform its suction or irrigation function, depending on the line connected.
• Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subordinate claims.
• Two suction and rinsing tubes which can be pushed independently of one another, are inserted into the protective tube and can be connected centrally or simultaneously to connecting lines or blocked against them via the shut-off elements in the operating part. At least one of the channels is straight throughout so that an additional instrument can be inserted. This makes it possible for the surgeon to perform an operation with the instrument through one of the channels, while at the same time the operation area can be flushed or suctioned through the other tube pushed forward.
• the front opening of the flushing tube is preferably configured in the form of a nozzle in order to flush the flushing liquid with pressure into the operating area.
• the axially movable suction and rinsing tubes have the essential advantage that the instrument can be firmly positioned and the suction and / or rinsing tube can subsequently be moved forward for suction or rinsing.
• semicircular sliding buttons arranged laterally on the protective tube or handle and guided in longitudinal slots can be used, which can be slid on the outside on the protective tube or the handle.
• Each slide button sits on a pin that is connected to the tubes and protrudes through the longitudinal slot.
• locking means can be provided to fix the axial positions of the individual tubes.
• the surgical instruct can be used to lift or push away individual organs, such as the liver, and thus to enlarge the operating area.
• ment can be equipped with at least one further axially insertable instrument insert, which is designed similarly to the instrument according to DE 37 09 706 C2 and is mounted in a protective tube axially parallel. It can be moved by means of an actuating element protruding from the protective tube or the handle. The actuating element can correspond to the actuating elements of the individually sliding tubes.
• This instrument insert is defined in claims 9 to 13. E emerges to the front from the end face or lateral surface of the protective tube and consists of several biegsa men wires, which emerge like a fan from the individual outlet openings in the protective tube.
• the wires at the front end each have a thickening.
• the instrument and the fan-like emergent wires need to be positioned only once because the suction and the rinsing tube are axially displaceable, so that no displacement of the entire instrument has to take place.
• the handle and the protective tube are preferably releasably attached to the central operating part via radial stud screws, threaded pieces or a bayonet lock.
• FIGS. 1 to 5 The invention is explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5. It shows:
• FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through the surgical instrument with suction rinsing
• Fig. 4 shows a cross section along the line IV-IV in Figure 1 and

• a bayonet lock can also be selected as a screw connection.
• the protective tube 4 is also screwed into a connecting socket 19 of the operating part 3 and, like the handle piece 2, is attached.
• each di a shorter piece of pipe 20, 21 is inserted so that the rear openings are sealingly connected to coaxial bores 5, 6 of the control panel 3, di aligned with the pipe end pieces 15, 16 .
• the outer diameter of the pipe sections 20, 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the channels in the protective tube 4 to form an annular gap.
• a coaxially arranged pipe 22, 23 is pushed over each pipe section 20, 2 and lies sealingly on the respective pipe section 20, 21 and is displaceable on this in the axial direction of the surgical's instrument 1 so that it can practice a front end face 24 of the protective tube 4.
• the lower tube 23 according to FIG.
