Definitions

  • the invention relates to surgical instruments, and in particular, to surgical instruments for creating and maintaining magnetic retraction.
  • An endoscopic surgical procedure is a surgical procedure typically performed by inserting a long, flexible endoscope through a small incision in the skin to visualize and manipulate internal tissues and structures using the endoscope.
  • One difficulty in endoscopic surgery is that it can be difficult to apply robust amounts of force to the organs and tissues, in part because the endoscope may buckle or move away if too much force is applied.
  • the inability to apply robust amounts of force places technical limitations on the types and nature of endoscopic procedures that can be performed.
  • NOTES Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery
  • NOTES is potentially less invasive than laparoscopy because it eliminates abdominal incisions and incision-related complications such as wound infections, incisional hernias, post-operative pain, and adhesions.
  • NOTES procedures provide good examples of the difficulties in applying robust amounts of force. For example, when performing a NOTES cholecystectomy, it is difficult to exert sufficient distal force to manipulate the overlying liver in order to gain adequate exposure of the gallbladder. When pushing endoscopic instruments against a hepatic lobe, the endoscope can buckle or actually move away. This problem is particularly heightened via the transgastric approach when the unsupported endoscope is retroflexed and distal force is further diminished. In addition, multiple channels are required to accommodate instruments devoted to traction and counter- traction. Finally, force is largely applied along the same axis as the visual axis since the instrument channels are oriented in near-parallel fashion.
  • the system comprises an external manipulator and at least one internal effector.
  • the external manipulator has a support portion and a positionable portion.

  • the first end of the positionable portion has one or more magnets connected thereto.
  • the internal effector has an engaging portion adapted to engage an object to be manipulated within the body cavity and a magnetized or magnetic portion.

  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the external manipulator 12.
  • the external manipulator 12 of the illustrated embodiment has the general form of a positionable arm. It includes a support portion 16 that is adapted to be anchored to a fixed surface, such as an operating room table or a floor, and a positionable portion 18 connected to and supported by the support portion 16.
  • the positionable portion 18 itself has a first end 20 and a second end 22 that is spaced from the first end 20. Between the first end 20 and the second end 22 are one or more joints 24, 26, 28, 30.
  • the joints 24, 26, 28, 30 are single and double ball joints; specifically, the two middle joints 26, 28 are double ball joints, while the joints proximate to the first and second ends 20, 22 are single ball joints.
  • the joints of the external manipulator 12 may be of essentially any sort, including ball joints, hinge joints, and sliding joints, to name a few.
  • the external manipulator 12 also includes structures to fix it in a desired position once that position has been set.
  • set screws 32, 34, 36 which are also useful as positioning handles, are provided.
  • the joints 24, 26, 28, 30 may employ friction to maintain the positionable portion 18 in position, or the positionable portion 18 may include counterweights or other conventional elements to maintain position. Additionally, any combination of conventional elements may be used to maintain position, particularly of the first end 20.
  • the external manipulator 12 is preferably of a construction that can support relatively heavy loads (e.g., about 10 kg) in a desired position. It is also advantageous if the external manipulator 12 is made of a rigid, non- ferromagnetic material, such as aluminum.
  • the magnets 50 may be permanent magnets, conventional coil electromagnets, or superconducting magnets (i.e., electromagnets cooled by cryogenic fluids to reduce electrical resistance in the coils). If the magnets 50 are permanent magnets, then they would generally be through-magnetized, such that there are north (N) and south (S) poles, allowing two or more of them to be stacked and magnetically adhered, clamped or otherwise cooperatively attached to increase the total magnetic field and magnetic force levels incrementally.
  • Neodymium permanent magnets are one type of magnet that is suitable for use in embodiments of the present invention.
  • neodymium magnets are capable of producing strong forces relative to their size and also have a high degree of coercivity (i.e., resistance to demagnetization) .
  • the magnets 50 may be attached to the first end 20 using adhesives (such as epoxy), clamps, straps, mechanical fasteners, or some other conventional method of attachment. (In the illustrated embodiment, the magnets 50 are secured by straps 51.) If adhesives are used to secure permanent magnets, it is advantageous if the chemical reactions involved in curing the adhesives are not strongly exothermic, as high temperatures may have a deleterious effect on the magnetic properties of permanent magnets. Likewise, if mechanical clamping or strapping is used, it is advantageous if the clamping or strapping force is kept as low as possible to avoid mechanical damage to the magnets.
  • the first end 20 includes a generally flat attachment plate 52 that is connected to the joint 30 nearest the first end 20 and is thus itself positionable.
  • the attachment plate 52 may, in some embodiments, be ferromagnetic.
  • the magnets 50 may be covered by an appropriate cover so as to maintain sterility, prevent corrosion, and make cleaning easier.
  • the cover itself may be removable and replaceable for easy cleaning, or it may be disposable.
  • the system 10 also includes one or more internal effectors 14.
  • Each internal effector 14 is made of a biocompatible material and is adapted to be placed within a body cavity.
  • an internal effector 14 may be any type of conventional endoscopic or general surgical grasping, clamping, pushing, or pulling implement that is responsive to magnetic forces and is thus attracted to the magnets 50 of the external manipulator 12.
  • Two typical ways of rendering such instruments responsive to magnetic forces include physically connecting the instrument to a magnet or a ferromagnetic material or magnetizing the instrument or a portion thereof.
  • the internal effectors 14 of FIG. 1 are best seen in FIG. 1, a perspective view of the internal effectors 14 in isolation.
  • Each effector 14 includes at least an engaging portion 62 adapted to engage tissue and a magnetized or magnetic portion 64 adapted to be attracted to and to cooperate with the magnets 50 of the external manipulator 12 such that the external manipulator 12 and the internal effector or effectors 14 are adapted to manipulate tissue.
  • the engaging portion 62 of the internal effector 14 has the general form of an endoscopic clip with barbed jaws. Depending on the embodiment, the engaging portion 62 may be constructed and arranged relative to the endoscope with which it is used such that the engaging portion 62 may open and close one or more times to grasp tissue.
  • the magnetic portion 64 of the internal effector 12 comprises a stack of small cylindrical permanent magnets.
  • the internal diameters of the cylindrical magnets are large enough to accommodate the jaw movement lock-and-release mechanism of typical endoscopic clips.
  • the outer diameters of the cylindrical permanent magnets 64 are small enough to fit within the existing plastic sheath that houses the entire apparatus. If internal effectors 14 are made using conventional endoscopic tools to which magnets have been retrofitted or added, it is advantageous if the total dimensions do not exceed the inner diameter of a conventional endoscope instrument channel. If the internal effectors 14 are small enough to fit within a standard endoscope instrument channel, then several effectors 14 can be introduced into a body cavity without removal of the endoscope. However, if larger internal effectors 14 are necessary, then in some embodiments, those larger effectors may be delivered into the body cavity by backloading them into the endoscope.
  • the internal effector 14 has an engaging portion 62 with teeth for grasping and holding tissue.
  • Other engaging mechanisms may be used; generally, internal effectors according to embodiments of the invention may use any mechanism for engaging or grasping, and it may be advantageous in some embodiments for internal effectors to have engaging portions that are less likely to damage tissue or cause bleeding.
  • the internal effector 66 illustrated in FIG. 4 has an engaging portion 68 with flatter grasping portions.
  • the engaging portion 68 may also be coated with rubber or with another material to increase frictional forces between the gripped tissue or structure and the internal effector 66.
  • the internal effector 66 of FIG. 4 has a magnetic portion 70 that is similar to that of the internal effector 14 of FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate internal effectors 62, 66 with engaging portions 62, 68 in the form of grasping jaws
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate additional embodiments of internal effectors with engaging portions that more closely resemble those of retractors.
  • the internal effector 74 of FIG. 5 includes a curved, scoop-like engaging portion 72 similar to that of a conventional retractor.
  • the internal effector 74 also includes a magnetized magnetic portion 76. That is, instead of adding external permanent magnets as in the other internal effectors 14, 66, the material of which the magnetic portion 76 is made is itself magnetic or magnetized. Of course, in some embodiments, particularly where weaker forces are sufficient for the application, it may be sufficient for the magnetic portion 76 merely to be made of a ferromagnetic material. Of course, the type of magnetic portion 76 shown in FIG. 5 may be implemented in any internal effector.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates another internal effector 78 with a curved, scoop-like engaging portion 80 that is divided into individual projections or teeth, and a magnetic or magnetized portion 82 similar to that of the effector 72 of FIG. 5.
  • all of the types of internal effectors 14, 66, 72, 78 may include coatings or coverings, particularly over the magnets or magnetic portions, to protect them from corrosion and to render them biocompatible.
  • internal effectors 14 are attached to a piece of tissue or another structure and, once so attached, the external manipulator 12 is brought into a position of magnetic influence over the internal effectors 14 on the exterior of the body.
  • the internal effector 14 is then caused by magnetic attraction to exert force on the structure. If the amount of force exerted is sufficient, both the internal effector 14 and the structure to which it is attached may move.

Those factors can be altered to produce greater or lesser degrees of force, as necessary. For example, stronger or weaker magnets may be used for different applications and types of surgical procedures.
