Definitions
- the present invention is related to surgical working platforms More specifically, the present invention relates to a trajectory guide and method for using the same which facilitates the alignment of surgical and observational instruments into a patient
- Interstitial thermal therapy is a process designed to heat and destroy a tumor from within the tumor.
- ITT Interstitial thermal therapy
- One advantage of this type of therapy is that the energy is applied directly to the tumor rather than passing through surrounding normal tissue
- Another advantage of the type of therapy is that the energy deposition is more likely to be extended throughout the entire tumor
- One exemplary ITT process involves the use of laser (LITT) and begins by inserting an optical fiber into the tumor, wherein the tumor has an element at its "inserted" end that redirects laser light from an exterior source in a direction generally at right angles to the length of the fiber
- the energy from the laser thus extends into the tissue surrounding the end or tip and effects heating
- the energy is directed in a beam confined to a relatively shallow angle so that, as the fiber is rotated, the beam also rotates around the axis of the fiber to effect heating of different parts of the lesion at positions around the fiber
- the fiber can thus be moved longitudinally and rotated to effect heating of the lesion over the full volume of the lesion with the intention of heating the lesion to the required temperature without significantly affecting tissue surrounding the lesion
- Stereotactic neurosurgery is a field of neurosurgery in which a probe is advanced through a burr hole to a target of interest by means of a mechanical device attached to the skull with aiming based on pre- operative images
- the probe may be a biopsy needle or an implantable device, but it is geometrically rigid, so that its tip can be brought to a target of interest specified on a pre-operative image, by means of a geometrical calculation
- the field has been advancing from the imposition of large, classical metal frames, which encompass the entire head of a patient, to the attachment of small platforms placed only over an entry site to reduce patient discomfort, facilitate surgical access, allow multiple targeting during one surgery via multiple platforms, and reduce procedure time, while maintaining the same level of accuracy
- U S Pat No 6,206,890 to Truwit discloses an apparatus for aligning the trajectory of, guiding, and introducing and withdrawing a surgical probe to treat a brain tumor
- the apparatus includes a unitary base which has a ball joint member that is movably attached to the base
- the ball joint member has a passage therein which forms a portion of the trajectory path
- the ball joint member also includes a long, cylindrical, thin- walled guide stem which has an opening therein that substantially aligns with the passage in the moveable member
- the ball joint member includes either an integral guide stem for holding the positioning stem or a removably attached guide stem. In the case of the former, a positioning stem is inserted into the opening of the guide stem for purposes of trajectory alignment. In the case of the latter, the removably attached guide stem can be removed and replaced with a positioning stem.
- Finding the correct trajectory via the guiding icon is time consuming because of the difficulty of making fine adjustments of one angle of the approach without changing the other angle.
- a further difficulty with this aiming procedure is maintaining both angles of the correct trajectory while locking the device on target.
- the locking step can be especially frustrating, because, if either angle is changed inadvertently during locking, as revealed by the guiding icon, the device must be unlocked and the adjustment started from the beginning. Typically several iterations are required, resulting in wasted operating time.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,167,760 to Dawant et al. discloses a device that also requires the attachment of bone-implanted fiducials and the subsequent acquisition of a preoperative tomogram, but it does not require intraoperative optical tracking for aiming. Instead the device is custom made for each patient based on a pre-operative tomogram and the surgeon's identification of the entry point and the target on that tomogram. Thus, the device arrives at the operating suite pre-aimed with no adjustment required intraoperatively.
- the shape of the device provides far greater access to the burr hole but does not allow the surgeon total flexibility in changing trajectory
- the device is disposable a significant disadvantage is that the patient must wait between the acquisition of the tomogram and the delivery of the device which can range from two to four days
- U S Patent Publn 2007/0106305 attempts to address the shortcomings of the Dawant device by disclosing a surgical platform that includes a ring structure and a ball joint that is configured to be received in the ring structure, where the ball joint defines a bore for accommodating a surgical probe therethrough
- the surgical platform includes a plurality of threadably-adjustable leg assemblies While the adjustable legs provide the surgeon with the ability to make macro and micro adjustments, mechanically the device is cumbersome to use
- the trajectory guide in accordance with the present invention, relates to an MRI-compatible trajectory guide for providing access to a target site of a living subject along a desired path
- the trajectory guide includes a baseplate including a clamp lock, a guide member at least partially contained within the baseplate and having a channel therein, a plurality of adjustable legs each including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to the baseplate, and a leg lock coupled to each adjustable leg and moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position in order to set a desired length of the adjustable leg, wherein the adjustable legs and the guide member are structured to be adjusted to provide an infinite number of trajectories in thee-dimensional space extending through the channel in the guide member toward a target

- the center ball adapter 30 may include a lumen 38 extending through the tubular portion 32 and the interface portion 34 that is structured to receive a surgical tool.
- the diameter of the lumens in various center ball adapters may vary depending upon the size of the probe and/or instrument that the lumen is designed and structured to receive.
- the center ball adapter 30 may include a second fastening means 40 that is operable to secure the tool in place once it has been positioned within the lumen 38.
- the second fastening means 40 may be similar to the first fastening means 36 previously described.
- each of the adjustable, telescoping legs 14 may include a ball joint end 42 and a hinged end 43. As will be discussed in further detail to follow, a length of each leg 14 may be adjusted and the leg locked at a desired length with a leg cam lock 44 after the trajectory is determined.
- the trajectory guide 10 may optionally include a web assembly 45 designed to assist with the proper spacing and alignment of the feet 12 during the placement of the trajectory guide 10 on the patient.
- a web assembly 45 designed to assist with the proper spacing and alignment of the feet 12 during the placement of the trajectory guide 10 on the patient.
- the web assembly 45 is not a necessary component of the present invention and the trajectory guide 10 may be placed on the patient without the use of such device.
