Definitions
- the invention relates to a urological instrument referred to in the preamble of claim 1 Art.
- a generic urological instrument is shown in DE 10 2011 121 792 A1.
- the urological instrument here is a resectoscope with a combinfrequenzbeetzschlagten working electrode, which is operated in the liquid located in the bladder. With the working electrode body tissue is removed by cutting or vaporizing, for example, in the reduction of the hypertrophied prostate.
- the known construction provides a working with thermochromic material temperature sensor, which is arranged in the vicinity of the working electrode and which is optically readable by means of the intended for monitoring the operating area optics.
- This known construction has a number of disadvantages, in particular the tedious measuring method which is to be performed by the operator by viewing the sensor and comparing it with a color chart.
- CONFIRMATION COPY US Pat. No. 6,197,021 B1 discloses a surgical, temperature-generating, working electrode whose temperature is determined in close proximity with electrical sensors, such as thermocouples or thermistors. Although precise electrical measuring methods are used, it is precisely such electrically operating devices in a liquid environment, such as in a bladder, that are extremely prone to failure.
- the object of the present invention is to search for a urological instrument which allows a more precise statement about the temperature in the urinary bladder. This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
- the invention is based on the recognition that the electrical conductivity of a liquid depends strongly on its temperature.
- the urological instrument according to the invention therefore determines with an ohmmeter the electrical resistance of the liquid in the urinary bladder between two measuring electrodes and thus the conductivity of the liquid.
- the measuring electrodes are kept at a fixed distance and in contact with the liquid. It can thus determine the resistance of the liquid between the measuring electrodes, the reciprocal, the electrical conductivity, in the measuring range of interest depends substantially linearly on the temperature of the liquid. This allows simple and precise temperature measurements. Electrical problems with the liquid do not exist, but the contact of the measuring electrodes with the liquid is even required for the measurement.
- the resistance measuring device could be arranged adjacent to the measuring electrodes, but is advantageously arranged remotely according to claim 3 and connected via measuring lines. In particular, it can be set up dry away from the bladder.
- the urological instrument is designed such that the measuring electrodes are firmly connected to the working electrode.
- the measuring electrodes thus always remain in the vicinity of the temperature-generating element.
- FIG. 1 is a highly schematic representation of the distal end portion of a urological resectoscope with a working electrode
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail of Fig. 1 in the region of the working electrode.
- 1 shows a perspective view of the distal end region of a urological instrument in the form of a urological resectoscope, which substantially corresponds to the construction of DE 10 2011 121 792 A1.
- the distal end portion of a shaft tube 1 of the resectoscope is shown, which is laid in the example shown in Fig. 1 to a bladder 2 indicated by dashed lines.
- the shaft tube 1 Through the shaft tube 1 extend two support arms 3 and 4, which are arranged parallel to each other and carry a working electrode 5 between their distal ends. This consists of a non-insulated electrically conductive wire.
- the electrode assembly 3, 4, 5 thus formed is connected via connecting cables 6, 7 to a high frequency generator 8, which is switchable with the usual foot switch 9.
- the working electrode 5 is formed in the usual training for urological resectoscopes as a U-shaped loop. Upon RF exposure, it cuts through tissue and may be used to, for example, ablate a tumor 10. For this purpose, when the high frequency generator 8, the electrode assembly by means of the support arms 3 and 4 in a suitable manner to be moved cutting.
- a bipolar resectoscope that is, a resectoscope, in which two electrodes are connected separately to two poles of the high-frequency generator 8, between which electrodes current flows through the liquid in the bladder 2.
- a counter electrode 11 is arranged, which is arranged at a proximal distance to the working electrode 5 between the support arms 3 and 4.
- the two support arms 3 and 4 are formed as rods of insulating material or as insulating.
- a first electrical conductor 12 which projects beyond the support arm 3 in its distal end region and forms there the loop-shaped working electrode 5. This is at its other end, as shown in particular in FIG. 2, via a first insulator 19 connected to the distal end of a second conductor 13 which passes through the support arm 4.
- the counter electrode 11 is conductively connected to the second conductor 13, but not to the first conductor 12, to which only an insulating connection via a second insulator 20 is made.
- the counter electrode 1 1 is therefore electrically connected only to the second conductor 13 and the working electrode 5 only with the first conductor 12.
- In the distal end region of the electrode arrangement are thus two electrically separated electrodes 5 and 11, which are connected separately via the conductors 12 and 13.
- the conductors 12 and 13 are, as shown in FIG. 1, connected to the connecting cables 6 and 7 and run to separate poles of the high-frequency generator. 8
- a temperature measuring device is provided.
- the temperature measuring device has two measuring electrodes 14 and 15. These are each arranged on one of the two support arms 3, 4 and that in the illustrated embodiment as a simple, clamped on the respective support arm sheet metal sleeves. Test leads 16 and 17 lead to a remote from the measuring electrodes outside the bladder 2 resistance meter 18, with which the resistance between the measuring electrodes 14 and 15 is measured and displayed.
- the counterelectrode 1 also contributes to this.
- the support arms 3 and 4 and the counter electrode 11 form a distance between the measuring electrodes 14 and 15 maintaining spacers.
- the ohmmeter 18 may connect a current source and a measuring device as well as the measuring path between the measuring electrodes 14 and 15 in series in series in commercial manner. The result is a measurement of the electrical resistance between the measuring electrodes 14 and 15 by means of the current flowing through the intermediate liquid.
