まず、腰部くも膜下腔-腹腔シャント術を説明する。図1は、腰部くも膜下腔への穿刺を模式的に示す側面図、図2は、腰部のX線CT画像を模式的に示す断面図、図3は、腰部くも膜下腔への穿刺の角度を説明するための模式図である。
2.ガイド装置
次に、本発明のガイド装置を詳細に説明する。図4は、発明の第1実施形態に係るガイド装置を示す斜視図、図5は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るガイド装置の各種角度を示す斜視図である。
ガイド部2は、穿刺針の穿刺をガイドする機能を有する。ガイド部2の形状は、特に限定されず、台形状、直方体状、三角柱状、楕円柱状、円柱状などが挙げられる。ガイド部2は、本体21と、ガイドレール22と、把持部23とで構成されている。
本体21は、ガイドレール22と、把持部23とを後述する支持部3に支持する機能を有する。本体21は、略L字状の支柱で形成されているが、これに限定されない。例えば、本体21は、円錐台や2面が台形の立体であってもよい。また、本体21は、透明部材で構成されているが、これに限定されない。本実施形態では、本体21は、補強部211と、第1の支柱212と、第1の支柱212よりも小さい第2の支柱213とを有する。補強部211は、ガイド部2と支持部3との接続を補強する。補強部211は、長尺状に形成されているが、特に限定されない。
ガイドレール22は、穿刺針を支持部3に対して所定の角度で進行させる機能を有する。ガイドレール22は、本体21の第2の支柱213と、把持部23とを連結するように設けられる。ガイドレール22は、図5に示すように、支持部3に対して、所定の角度で設けられる。この所定の角度は、40~80°が好ましく、45~70°がより好ましく、60°が最も好ましい。換言すると、ガイドレール22は、支持部3の垂線に対して、第2の角度で設けられる。この第2の角度は、後述するように、10~50°が好ましく、20~45°がより好ましく、30°が最も好ましい。このような角度により、穿刺針を確実に目標点Dに到達させることができる。
把持部23は、術者にガイド装置1を把持させる機能を有する。把持部23は、ガイドレール22の基端と、第1の支柱212の上端とを連結するように構成されている。そして、把持部23は、補強部211に平行して設けられ、第1の支柱212に直交して設けられる。これにより、本体21は、全体的に台形状に形成される。また、把持部23の太さ、長さは、術者が把持できるかぎり、特に限定されない。術者が確実に把持できるように、把持部23は、術者の指に沿って形成された凹部を有していてもよい。
支持部3は、ガイド部2を支持する機能を有する。支持部3は、6角形の板状に形成されているが、これに限定されない。例えば、支持部3は、円形の板状や三角形の板状、直方体状であってもよい。支持部3は、ガイド部2の下側に設けられている。このような構成により、術者はガイド部2の把持部23を把持し、支持部3を生体に確実に当接することができる。支持部3は、第1のブレード31と、第2のブレード32とで構成されている。
第1のブレード31は、ガイド部2の補強部211の長手方向に直交する一方の方向に、ガイド部2から突出するように設けられている。第1のブレード31は、四角形の板状に形成されている。これにより、生体上に確実に配置することができる。このような第1のブレード31は、基準部311と、切り欠き312と、穿刺案内部313とを有する。
第2のブレード32は、ガイド部2の長手方向に直交する方向で、第1のブレード31とは反対の方向に、ガイド部2から突出するように設けられている。第2のブレード32の構成は、第1のブレード31の構成と同じであるため、詳細な説明を省略する。
次に、本発明のガイド装置1を用いて穿刺針を穿刺する方法を説明する。図6は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るガイド装置を用いた穿刺針の穿刺方法のフローチャート、図7は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るガイド装置の使用状態を模式的に示す斜視図、図8は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るガイド装置の使用状態を模式的に示す斜視図である。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の製造方法を説明する。図9は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るガイド装置を製造する方法を示すフローチャートである。この方法は、図9に示すように、腰部にX線を照射する工程(S11)と、穿刺点A、皮膚点(第1の点)B、皮膚点(第2の点)Cおよび目標点DをX線CT画像に設定する工程と(S12~S20)、第1の角度θ1および第2の角度θ2を算出する工程(S21)と、ガイド部2および支持部3を用意する工程(S24)と、ガイド部2を支持部3に接続する工程(S25)とを含む。また、この方法は、穿刺針の水平到達可能範囲を特定する工程(S22)と、穿刺針の全ての到達可能範囲を特定する工程(S23)、穿刺点と到達可能範囲の中心か近似の位置を通過する場合の角度をガイド装置の製造のための角度として算出する工程(S23A)とを含む。このステップS11からS23を含む方法は、生体内における穿刺針の到達可能な範囲の特定方法ともいう。
(278-238)÷(49-1)+238=238.9375=239
・隣接する他のスライス画像上の通過点のx座標
(278-238)÷(49-1)+239=239.875=240
次に、図9のステップS21における角度の算出方法を詳細に説明する。図15、16は、第1の角度および第2の角度を算出する方法を説明するための模式図である。
θ1=cos-1(BC/AC)
θ2=cos-1(CD/AD)
上記では、ステップS18で設定する目標点Dが脊柱管内の中心点である場合を説明したが、最適な角度を導く目標点Dはこれに限定されず、すなわち正中面(人体を両半分に分ける面)内になくてもよく、上述した到達可能範囲内の任意の点であればよい。また、上記では、穿刺点Aが正中線から15mmである場合を説明したが、穿刺点Aはこれに限定されず、正中線から所定の距離離れた任意の点であればよい。そこで、ガイド装置1の製造方法の他の形態として、穿刺点Aおよび目標点Dを自動で決定する方法を説明する。なお、穿刺点Aおよび目標点Dは、上記のようにCT画像上に術者が任意に設定してもよい。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の第2実施形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の第3実施形態を説明する。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の第4実施形態を説明する。以下、第4実施形態について説明するが、前述した第1実施形態との相違点を中心に説明し、同様の事項についてはその説明を省略する。なお、前述した第1実施形態と同様の構成には、同一の符号を付してある。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の第5実施形態を説明する。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の第5実施形態の変形例を説明する。図22は、本発明の第5実施形態に係るガイド装置の変形例を模式的に示す側面図である。なお、前述した第5実施形態と同様の構成には、同一の符号を付してある。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の第6実施形態を説明する。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の第6実施形態の変形例を説明する。図24は、本発明の第6実施形態に係るガイド装置の変形例を模式的に示す上面図である。なお、前述した第6実施形態と同様の構成には、同一の符号を付してある。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の第7実施形態を説明する。
次に、本発明のガイド装置の第8実施形態を説明する。
