Description

蛋型大肠镜及行进控制方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种大肠镜,特别关于一种蛋型大肠镜及行进控制方法。
背景技术
在“全球癌症报告”一文中,认为『若癌症常识得以普及落实“早期筛检,早期诊断,早期治疗”约有一半癌症的发生是可以控制的』。
中国每年死于大肠癌的人数约为12万。平均年龄48.3岁(集中40~59岁),而美国人则平均为69.8岁。中国人确诊为大肠癌的时间,有25~33%已是晚期。恶性几率高,复发率高达50%。一半病人在后期会有肝转移。进入末期,每10万人就有13人会死于大肠癌,每5分钟就有一人死于大肠癌。
在中国台湾,癌症已连续位居十大死因之首达33年。其中,结肠直肠癌持续排名前三名;2014年确诊为大肠癌的患者达1万5千人,死亡人数约5千人。在日本,大肠癌的每年发生人数约4万5千人,死亡人数约1万八千人。在美国,大肠癌的每年发生人数约15万人,死亡人数约5万人。
其中,大肠息肉与癌症的相关性极高。中国台湾20-49岁成人中,约有71万人有大肠息肉。大肠息肉在5-10年间可能会转变为大肠癌。因此,若能先确认有大肠息肉并加以处置,就可预防大部分的大肠癌。
目前,可用于检查大肠息肉的医疗器材即为大肠镜。现有的大肠镜设备主流由奥林帕斯医疗(股)公司(Olympus Medical Systems Crop.)占据了主要的市场。Olympus所提供的大肠镜检查设备,其由光纤构成的系统使得镜头不易弯曲。由于大肠镜为粗长的180厘米,如果要完整检查大肠,必须要进行全身麻醉。由于麻醉本身具有风险性,因此,大部分患者不愿进行全身麻醉。检查过程又必须进行充气而导致腹胀,加上粗长的大肠镜塞入肠道中行进使大肠镜的镜身压迫肠壁,会造成大部分患者极度不舒服,甚而导致无法进行全大肠道的检查。更甚者,国内的多个研究数据表明,大肠镜的检查,约有千分之二点五~千分之五的比率,会于大肠镜的检查过程中,因为大肠镜的使用不当,或者因为病患的特 殊病情,或因息肉的烧除过程等等,导致肠穿孔的情形。此一情形,往往以医疗诉讼的方式收场。所以,大肠镜的检查也充满了风险,对病人来说有大肠穿孔的风险,对医师来说,肠穿孔后的医疗诉讼则为医师所不愿。以上种种原因,导致大肠镜的检查无法普及,也无法进一步通过检查出大肠息肉来达到预防大肠癌的目的。
为了解决大肠镜的无法转弯问题,有些针对辅助肠道弯曲的方向所设计的辅具,例如欧洲第EP0792130B1号专利案External straightener for colonoscopy,其公开了凸块状的辅具,设法通过辅具压迫大肠使其由弯变直,让大肠镜可深入。同样的概念亦见于美国公开第US2014/0350341号专利案。不过,这些辅助器材仍无法解决由降结肠进入横结肠,以及由横结肠进入升结肠的大幅度转弯处的问题。
除了用辅具来设法解决转弯的问题外,也有人尝试开发可转弯的大肠镜技术(改变大肠镜本身),以解决传统大肠镜不易转弯的问题。例如,连吉时(Gi Shih,LIEN)等人所研发的中国台湾第I468140号“大肠镜磁控系统”专利案,运用了磁性从动件装置于大肠镜的条状支持件上,通过外部控制装置上的磁性主动件导引磁性从动件转动,即可控制大肠镜于转弯处顺利转弯。进而解决了以往大肠镜不易转弯的问题。
然而,这种技术仍是基于传统的粗长式管径概念。虽可转弯,但稍有不慎(如技术不佳或疏忽),仍然容易在大肠镜于肠道内行进的过程中压迫肠壁,造成大肠镜的镜身对肠壁的硬碰触。换言之,病患易于在检查过程中感到极度不舒服的问题仍然有待克服。
此外,传统的大肠镜,或者连吉时等人所开发的大肠镜,仍然无法解决大肠皱褶处的不可视死角问题。换言之,传统的大肠镜由于其单向视角,无法看到大肠皱褶的另一面,造成检查的死角。
因此,无痛的大肠镜设备势必成为预防大肠癌的利器。所以,如何开发出无痛、无死角、操作简单,能够符合医师检查用的各方面需求的大肠镜设备,成为医疗器材厂商极为专注的研发方向。

具体实施方式
根据本发明的一个实施例,本发明提供了一个蛋型大肠镜,以及蛋型大肠镜的行进控制方法。所述大肠镜具备蛋的形状,足以置入大肠中,再通过振动的方式,让大肠镜配合肠壁而能顺着肠道前进。即使在转弯的肠壁处,大肠镜也能顺利前进,不会造成肠道或肠壁的不舒适。
另外,本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜还连接了软质的导线组,对大肠镜提供所需的电力,方便进行实时摄影。而且,根据医师的需求或控制,该导线组也可以适时的供应气体,以使肠璧适度的扩张,有利于医师执行检查作业。以下将详细说明本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜具体的结构与功 能。
如图1A所示为蛋型大肠镜第一实施例,蛋型大肠镜包含:一蛋型壳体10与一导线组20。其中,该蛋型壳体10当中包含有一第一摄影模块、一第二摄影模块、一振动模块与一控制模块60。
在结构上,该蛋型壳体10有一第一端11a、一第二端11b以及一沿蛋型壳体10轴向延伸的中心圆柱部分。其中,所述第一端11a及第二端11b分别是指蛋型壳体10的轴向两端,而且第一端11a、第二端11b各自用一透明材料制作而成。
其次,该第一摄影模块配置在蛋型壳体10的第一端11a,其包括:一第一取像模块12a、一第一发光模块13a与一第一电路板14a。该第二摄影模块配置在蛋型壳体10的第二端11b,其包括:一第二取像模块12b、一第二发光模块13b与一第二电路板14b。
该第一、第二取像模块12a、12b采用高像素的CMOS传感器与CCD传感器之一。该第一、第二发光模块13a、13b可采用发光二极管(英文缩写为LED)所构成的发光模块。因此,该第一摄影模块与第二摄影模块可进行照明与摄影,而且第二摄影模块主要是用来拍摄肠壁的皱褶或死角,其拍摄影像与第一摄影模块的拍摄方向相反。
所述控制模块60装置于蛋型壳体10中。在本实施例,该控制模块60安装于中心电路板18上。该中心电路板18连接一第一电路板14a与一第二电路板14b,使整体线路电性相连。实际上,整体线路不限于此,譬如该控制模块60电性连接第一摄影模块、第二摄影模块及振动模块。所述控制模块60可接收一来自于外部的控制指令,从而操作任一摄影模块执行影像的拍摄与传输,也能决定振动模块的振动或不振动。
该导线组20在蛋型壳体10的第二端11b侧边,二者是固定的为佳。在本实施例,该导线组20有一导线外皮23,其包含多个软管气道开口24。该导线外皮23包覆三条导(电)线(如信号线、正极线、负极线)与一软管气道22。在某些实施例,该导线外皮23包覆至少两条导(电)线21。这些导(电)线21充当一供电组件,可电性连接前述控制模块60,用以输出电力至蛋型壳体10内所设的各电子组件,如第一摄影模块、第二摄影模块、控制模块60及振动模块等组件。该软管气道22引导外部的气体,经由软管气道开口24传递到大肠中。
在本实施例,该振动模块可以是振动马达15,其装置于蛋型壳体10中,使蛋型壳体10产生振动。在图1图中,所述振动马达15安装于蛋型壳体10的侧壁19,也就是中心柱体的侧壁上。在图1B中,该振动马达15装置于侧壁19偏向第二端11b处。某些实施例,该振动马达15装置于侧壁19偏向第一端11a处为佳。又有一些实施例,该振动马达15装置于蛋型壳体10的中心柱体中央处,也就是中心电路板18上。
如图1A所示,在尺寸的规划上,该蛋型大肠镜的长度L1介于2.5-5.2厘米之间,宽度W1介于1.5-2.5厘米之间
虽然,将气体灌入肠道属于外部控制的范畴,却是蛋型大肠镜所必须提供的主要功能。该导线组20除了如图1A般在靠近蛋型壳体10的第二端11b处形成软管气道开口24以外,也可以像图2直接在蛋型壳体10形成一气道开口25。所述气道开口25除了进行气体的供应以外,亦能视需要供给一些水或药水。
在图3A中,该蛋型壳体10外部有多个腹足16,这些腹足16可以辅助蛋型大肠镜在大肠中更稳定地前进。当然,辅助蛋型大肠镜前进的腹足构造,还有其他的选项:一个以上宛如图3B单环构造的腹足16a;或是如图3C所示螺旋构造的腹足16b;或类似于蛇鳞片构造的腹足;又或是这些构造的组合。
除了腹足以外,辅助蛋型大肠镜在大肠前进的设备还包括一安装于蛋型壳体10的磁型被动套件。在图4A、图4B中,三组磁性被动套件安装于蛋型壳体10的中心柱体靠近第一端11a的部分,每组磁性被动套件包括:一磁性组件N极17a与一磁性组件S极17b,该磁性组件N极与S极17a、17b位于直径的两端,可通过一外部主动磁性装置来辅助牵引蛋型壳体10的前进与定位。
在一应用场景中,该外部主动磁性装置对磁性被动套件产生牵引作用,让进入大肠的蛋型壳体10局部旋转,直到第二摄影模块能够看到被导线组20遮蔽的死角。在其他的应用场景中,该外部主动磁性装置牵引磁性被动套件,使蛋型壳体10产生顺着肠道前行的辅助性动力。
另外,该磁性被动套件的磁场,可被一些感应式侦测器材感测,并通过一显示器得知蛋型壳体10在大肠内部正确的方位。在医师为病患确诊时,可以清楚标示患部在大肠的精准位置。
在影像信号的传输方面,由于导线组20的设计,只要供应充足的电力,就能以有线或无线方式之一进行传输作业。具体而言,在有线传输模式中,该蛋型大肠镜采用信号传输线或电源信号传输(Power line transmission)方式之一。因此,该导线组20包含一条信号传输线(图中未绘),或在蛋型壳体10安装额外的一组电源线信号传输模块(图中未绘),方便控制模块60实时将影像信号传送出去。
如图5所示,在无线传输模式中,该蛋型大肠镜添加一无线传输模块50。该无线传输模块50电性连接控制模块60,同样能将第一、第二摄影模块拍摄的影像传输出去。
其次,该蛋型大肠镜的导(电)线21被一电池(图中未绘)取代。在无线传输模式,该电池设在蛋型壳体10内,充当蛋型大肠镜的供电单元,供给各电子组件所需的电力。因此,一来自外部的控制指令被无线传输模块50接收,从而传递至控制模块60。如此,该导线组20只有软管气道22,却无导(电)线,也不会妨碍蛋型大肠镜执行肠道的检查。
如图5所示,该蛋型大肠镜还多了一角度侦测单元70,辅助蛋型大肠镜在大肠的肠道航行时,掌握到蛋型大肠镜目前的水平倾斜角度。该角度侦测单元70电性连接控制模块60,可侦测蛋型壳体10水平角度的变化值且传送出去。
简单地说,该蛋型壳体10的第一端11a在重力方向低于第二端11b,即谓第一端11a的水平倾斜角度向下。此刻,能够以振动方式让蛋型大肠镜在大肠的肠道继续前进。
如果不是第一端11a向下的状况(即第一端11a在重力方向上高于第二端11b,或与第二端11b等位),医师就可通过前述的外部主动磁性装置(详见图4A、图4B相关的说明)来辅助牵引蛋型大肠镜的前进;或者,通过调整病人姿势来调整肠道的角度来让蛋型大肠镜可形成第一端11a朝下的状态。因此,通过角度侦测单元70的配置,本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜更容易达成本发明想达到的前进控制的目的。
其中,角度侦测单元70可选自:一微机电角度侦测芯片、微机电陀螺仪芯片、微机电双轴加速度感测芯片、微机电三轴加速度感测芯片、滚动开关、磁传感器其中之一。以上的众多组件,尽可能以微小化且具备耐震条件的组件为选择考虑。
如图6所示,阐明蛋型大肠镜的使用状态。从图中可清楚的看到,由于本发明运用了蛋型的结构,也就是蛋型壳体10的设计,其蛋型的设计,符合肠道本来可容纳的消化物结构特性。此外,由于导线组20采用了软质的软管气道的设计.其可挠的特性加上直径控制在0.5厘米以下,所以,在医师操作本发明的蛋型大肠镜时,可轻易以无痛的方式,顺利的让蛋型大肠镜进入大肠30的肠道,由直肠35到乙状结肠34到降结肠33到横结肠32到升结肠31,完整的160厘米肠道,不会造成肠道的压迫感,自然不会造成病患的不舒服感觉。
更重要的,本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜通过前、后双镜的设计,让蛋型大肠镜无死角地看到大肠皱褶的另一面。
如图7A、图7B所示,阐明蛋型大肠镜另一使用状态。在图7A中,当蛋型大肠镜行进的过程,无法看到大肠30皱褶处反面的大肠息肉40。但行进到图7B的位置时,即可通过第二摄影模块观察到大肠30肠壁皱褶的死角的大肠息肉40。
基本上,本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜通过振动的方式来辅助前进,其主要目的是希望能减低病患于检查时的不适。而适当的行进控制方法,对本发明就起了很重要的作用。本发明可通过一些方法来让蛋型大肠镜可顺利地辅助前进:第一种方法是重力加振动法,第二种方法是磁力加振动法,第三种方法是重力加振动加磁力法。
如图8A所示为本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜行进控制方法第一流程图,包含了以下步骤:
步骤101:侦测蛋型大肠镜的水平倾斜角度。
步骤103:使蛋型大肠镜进行振动。
步骤105:于蛋型大肠镜振动时,让蛋型大肠镜的第一端11a在重力方向上低于第二端11b(例如:让蛋型大肠镜所处的肠道呈与地平线倾斜,并使蛋型大肠镜的前进方向朝下)。
由于已经掌握了蛋型大肠镜的水平倾斜角度,也通过第一摄影模块看到了肠道的状况,因此,当蛋型大肠镜的第一端(11a)未朝下时,可通过许多方式来调整肠道的状况,设法让蛋型大肠镜的第一端(11a)朝下,让蛋型大肠镜可以振动的方式前进。例如,可以让病人躺的位置改变,或者,通过病床的辅助,即可达到让肠道相对位置改变的目的。例 如,蛋型大肠镜进入降结肠后,可控制病床使病人的头部朝下而脚朝上,即可形成行进方向朝下(第一端11a朝下)的状态,再搭配蛋型大肠镜的水平角度变化信息,即可局部调整肠道位置,让蛋型大肠镜的第一端(11a)朝下,容易于降结肠行进。又例如,于降结肠转横结肠的转弯处,可使病人身体往右侧躺,形成蛋型大肠镜容易往横结肠行进的状态。或者,局部推挤肠道,以此类推。
除了上述步骤101、步骤103及步骤105,本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜的行进控制方法的第一流程图可进一步包含一步骤107:提供一拉力以控制蛋型大肠镜的行进速度或微调蛋型大肠镜的行进方向。
此步骤107用于在蛋型大肠镜的行进速度过快时减缓其速度,或是用于在蛋型大肠镜因为行进方向稍有偏斜而卡在肠道内时稍微调整其行进方向。其中,提供此拉力的方式可以是拉引导线组20。
接着,如图8B所示为本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜的行进控制方法流程第二流程图,也就是运用磁力的方式,此即图4A的行进控制方法的说明,包含了以下的步骤:
步骤111:提供蛋型大肠镜一磁性被动套件。
步骤113:侦测蛋型大肠镜的水平倾斜角度。
步骤115:使该蛋型大肠镜振动。
步骤117:于该蛋型大肠镜振动时,提供一外部主动磁性装置牵引磁性被动套件,以辅助蛋型大肠镜于振动时前进。由于已经掌握了蛋型大肠镜的水平倾斜角度,所以蛋型大肠镜于前进时,通过外部的主动磁性装置,可吸引到蛋型大肠镜而使其前进,这点,我们可直接通过第一摄影模块所传来的影像看到。因此,我们可轻易的通过主动磁作装置于振动时提供一轻微的辅助牵引力量,从而让蛋型大肠镜行进。
同理,除了上述步骤111、步骤113步骤115及步骤117,本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜行进控制方法的第二流程图可进一步包含一步骤119:提供一拉力以控制该蛋型大肠镜的行进速度或微调蛋型大肠镜的行进方向。此步骤119的实施方式及目的与前述行进控制方法第一实施例的步骤107相同,故不再赘述。
如图9A所示为本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜另一具体实施例的剖面示意图;图9B为图9A实施例导线组(外露的部分)的剖面示意图;图9C为 图9A实施例蛋型壳体10第一端11a的横切面示意图。
在此实施例中,导线组20a除了原先的软管气道22外,增加了一个器械通道26(Instrument Channel),而软管气道22与器械通道26皆于蛋型大肠镜的第一端11a处开口(outlet)。本实施例将软管气道22与器械通道26的开口,配置于第一取像模块12a旁,以让医师可以通过器械通道26穿入息肉切除器械90(如图10所示)、止血针、切片钳、异物钳等等后,施行必要的手术。另,本具体实施例的蛋型大肠镜亦可具有如图4A、图4B所示的磁性被动套件,以在施行手术的整个或部分过程中,利用外部主动磁性装置磁吸磁性被动套件,进而固定蛋型壳体10在大肠肠道中的位置及方位。
此外,在图9B中可以观察到,导线组20a位于蛋型大肠镜外的剖面结构中,除了原先的软管气道22、导线21(由三条导线组成,分别为正极、负极、信号线,以及包覆体)外,还包括了器械通道26,以及管内填充物27,管内填充物27可让整个导线组20a的结构稳固。而在图9A中,第一端11a的开口并不包含导线21的部分,其由第二端11b的位置穿出,而焊接于第二电路板14b上。此处形成特殊的导线组20a的结构。当然,就另一实施例而言,导线21也可从第一端11a的位置穿出,并焊接于第一电路板14a上(未绘出)。
在图9C中可以观察到,器械信道26与软管信道22置于第一取像模块12a旁,当器械由器械通道26穿出时,可让医师清楚看到器械的状态,进而进行准确的手术,如图10所示。
如图10所示,阐明图9A蛋型大肠镜添加息肉切除器械90进行手术的操作方式。其中,软管气道22可喷出需要的气体与水等,让肠道膨胀与润滑。而第一发光模块13a可受控产生不同颜色的光源,再由第一取像模块12a进行不同光源照射结果下的取像。或者,当第一取像模块12a还换为倍率可调的摄像头,即可进行低倍率、高倍率的取像,以高倍的放大效果直接观察细胞,让医师可进行更详细的诊断。
另外,在图9A的蛋型大肠镜增加了器械通道26,可让不同的器械经由此通道进入第一端11a。以图10为例,其运用了息肉切除器械90穿入器械通道26,息肉切除刀91也可伸出,协助医师进一步进行大肠息肉切入手术。
接着,如图11A、图11C及图12所示,阐明蛋型大肠镜另一具体实施例。其中,图11A为此实施例的蛋型大肠镜的剖面示意图,图11B为此实施例的蛋型大肠镜的导线组(外露的部分)的剖面示意图,图11C为此实施例的蛋型大肠镜的第一端11a的横切面示意图,而图12为运用此实施例的蛋型大肠镜进行手术时的操作示意图。相较于前一实施例,此实施例的导线组20b省略器械通道26,而以软管气道22当作器械通道口(Instrument Channel)用,进而实现了气体、水与器械通道三合一的效果。
如图13a至图13c所示为本发明提供的蛋形大肠镜的又一具体实施例的剖面示意图。此实施例的结构与前述第一具体实施例相近,但本实施例的蛋型壳体10c的壳体侧壁19’由弹性材料构成。另,蛋型壳体10c不具有中心电路板18,故本实施例的振动马达15、控制模块60及角度侦测单元70设置于第一电路板14a或第二电路板14b,且第一电路板14a及第二电路板14b之间以可挠曲的导线相连接。
在本实施例,蛋形大肠镜的主要特征是:在蛋型壳体10c内还设有一伸缩致动组件80连接于蛋型壳体10c的第一端11a与第二端11b之间,且蛋型壳体10c的外表面具有腹足16。
详言之,此伸缩致动组件80为可使蛋型壳体10c的第一端11a与第二端11b之间的距离反复伸缩的结构,其包含一致动马达81、一伸缩驱动件82及一伸缩从动件83,其中致动马达81可受控制模块60控制且较佳固定于壳体侧壁19’的内表面,伸缩驱动件82可转动地连接致动马达81,伸缩从动件83设置于第一端11a的第一电路板14a及第二端11b的第二电路板14b。或者,亦可将致动马达81固定于第一电路板14a及第二电路板14b之一,并将伸缩从动件83设置于第一电路板14a及第二电路板14b的另一者。
通过上述的伸缩致动组件80,当致动马达81进行运作而转动伸缩驱动件82时,伸缩从动件83即会远离伸缩驱动件82(如图13A所示)或者邻近伸缩驱动件82(如图13B所示),使壳体侧壁19’进行伸缩,进而辅助此蛋形大肠镜还顺利地通过肠道中的细狭处或转弯处,甚或完全通过壳体侧壁19’的伸缩提供蛋形大肠镜行进的动力。
前述的伸缩致动组件80,可由任何能够使蛋型壳体10c的第一端11a 与第二端11b之间的距离反复伸缩的结构组成。如图13A及图13B所示,伸缩驱动件82是一曲轴,而伸缩从动件83为两个连杆,其中一个连杆枢接于曲轴及第一电路板14a,另一连杆则枢接于曲轴及第二电路板14b。或者,如图13C所示,伸缩驱动件82是一外周面具有交替设置之异极性磁极面的转子,而伸缩从动件83为磁极面朝向伸缩驱动件82的两个磁铁,则通过伸缩驱动件82的磁极面与伸缩从动件83的磁极面之间的相吸或相斥,亦可使壳体侧壁19’进行伸缩。
通过上述实施例的结构,本发明提供的蛋型大肠镜的行进控制方法也可于侦测得蛋型大肠镜的水平倾斜角度之后,使蛋型大肠镜进行伸缩,并让蛋型大肠镜的第一端11a在重力方向上低于第二端11b,即可使蛋形大肠镜以反复伸缩的方式前进。或者,上述伸缩动作也可配合前述其他实施例的振动行进或磁吸行进等方式实施。此外,由于蛋型壳体10c的外周可设有腹足16,因此在蛋型大肠镜伸展的过程中,腹足16可以抵撑于肠道壁面,有效提升伸缩动作的行进效果。
运用本发明,可达到无痛、无死角、不易造成肠穿孔等的特殊技术效果,达到了人类医学史上的一大进步。
虽然,本发明的技术内容已经以较佳实施例揭露如上,然其并非用以限定本发明,任何熟习此技艺者,在不脱离本发明的精神所作些许之还动与润饰,皆应涵盖于本发明的范畴内,因此本发明的保护范围当视本案权利要求范围所界定为准。
