Description
この発明は、鏡視下手術において、従来の鉗子の基部(体外)に超音波距離センサーモジュールを取り付けることで、体腔内の2点間の距離を計測する、鏡視下手術用超音波式距離計測装置に関するものである。 The present invention provides an ultrasonic distance for endoscopic surgery in which the distance between two points in a body cavity is measured by attaching an ultrasonic distance sensor module to the base (external) of a conventional forceps in an endoscopic surgery. The present invention relates to a measuring device.
従来、鏡視下手術において体腔内の距離を計測することは難しく、挿入した鉗子の先端部の長さなどから推定する、メジャー等を体腔内に挿入して測る、画像を後から解析する、などの方法しかなかった。 Conventionally, it is difficult to measure the distance in the body cavity in the endoscopic surgery, estimated from the length of the tip of the inserted forceps, measured by inserting a measure or the like into the body cavity, and analyzing the image later, There was only such a method.
手術においては、病変の大きさや脈管・臓器等の2点間の距離を計測することで、診断・治療の正確性を高めることができる。例えば腹部手術の場合、開腹手術であればメジャー等を直接当てることで距離の計測は比較的容易であるが、腹腔鏡下手術では困難であり、腹腔内に特別な道具を挿入せずに即座に距離を計測する方法は存在しなかった。本発明は、鏡視下手術において、体腔内に従来の鉗子を挿入するのみで、瞬時に体腔内の任意の2点間の距離を計測できるようにすることを課題とする。 In surgery, the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment can be improved by measuring the size of a lesion and the distance between two points such as a blood vessel and an organ. For example, in the case of abdominal surgery, it is relatively easy to measure distance by directly applying a measure etc. in open surgery, but it is difficult in laparoscopic surgery, and it is immediate without inserting special tools in the abdominal cavity. There was no way to measure distance. An object of the present invention is to make it possible to instantaneously measure the distance between any two points in a body cavity simply by inserting a conventional forceps into the body cavity in an endoscopic operation.
任意の2本の鉗子(1)の基部に2つずつ超音波距離センサーモジュール(以下、センサー)(2)を取り付ける。1つのセンサーから発信された超音波を別のセンサーが受信し、そのタイムラグがマイコン(3)で処理されセンサー間の距離情報に変換される。さらにセンサーを取り付けた位置とセンサー間の距離から、センサーを体腔内に挿入することなく、鉗子の先端間の距離をマイコン(3)で算出し、接続したパソコン(4)で結果を表示する。
本発明は、以上の構成よりなる超音波式距離計測装置である。Two ultrasonic distance sensor modules (hereinafter referred to as sensors) (2) are attached to the base of any two forceps (1). The ultrasonic wave transmitted from one sensor is received by another sensor, and the time lag is processed by the microcomputer (3) and converted into distance information between the sensors. Further, the distance between the tips of the forceps is calculated by the microcomputer (3) without inserting the sensor into the body cavity from the position where the sensor is attached and the distance between the sensors, and the result is displayed on the connected personal computer (4).
The present invention is an ultrasonic distance measuring device configured as described above.
超音波を用いた処理は、1/100秒程度の単位で繰り返し行えることから、距離はほぼリアルタイムに計測できる。体内には新たな道具を挿入しないため、ポートの大きさや手術内容(術式)などに関係なく使用でき、鉗子での把持や剥離等の操作と距離計測を同時に行うこともできる。また、体内に挿入するものが最低限であることは、医療安全上も有利である。 Since the processing using ultrasonic waves can be repeated in units of about 1/100 second, the distance can be measured almost in real time. Since no new tool is inserted into the body, it can be used regardless of the size of the port and the content of the operation (surgery method), and operations such as grasping and peeling with forceps and distance measurement can be performed simultaneously. In addition, it is advantageous from the viewpoint of medical safety that the minimum amount to be inserted into the body.
以下、本発明を実施するための形態について説明する。
先端に弯曲のない2本の鉗子(1)を用意する。2本の鉗子(1)の基部に、それぞれ2個ずつ超音波の発信・受信の両方ができる超音波距離センサーモジュール(以下、センサー)(2)を取り付ける。1本目の鉗子の先端を点P、先端に近い方のセンサーをA、遠い方のセンサーをBとする。PA間、AB間の長さをあらかじめ決めておく。2本目の鉗子の先端を点Q、先端に近い方のセンサーをC、遠い方のセンサーをDとし、同様にQC、CDの長さも決めておく。異なる鉗子のセンサー間の長さ(AC、AD、BC、BD)は、一方のセンサーが超音波を発信してからもう一方が超音波を受信するまでのタイムラグがマイコン(3)で処理され、音速からセンサー間の長さを算出する。これらの長さからPQ間の距離を、余弦定理を用いた方法により間接的に求める。結果はUSB接続されたパソコン(4)に送信し表示する。
余弦定理を用いたPQの求め方は、以下の通りである。
・PA,AB,QC,CDが既知。
・AC,AD,BC,BDをセンサーを用いて求める。
・余弦定理よりcos∠ADCが求まる。
・∠ADC=∠ADQなので、△QADにおいて余弦定理よりQAが求まる。
・余弦定理よりcos∠BDCが求まる。
・∠BDC=∠BDQなので、△QBDにおいて余弦定理よりQBが求まる。
・△ABQにおいて余弦定理よりcos∠ABQが求まる。
・∠ABQ=∠PBQなので、△PBQにおいて余弦定理よりPQが求まる。
本発明は、以上のような構造である。
これを使用するときは、2本の鉗子を体腔内に挿入し、鏡視下に、測定したい2点にそれぞれの鉗子の先端をおいて、パソコンに表示された距離を読めばよい。Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described.
Prepare two forceps (1) with no curvature at the tip. At the base of the two forceps (1), two ultrasonic distance sensor modules (hereinafter referred to as sensors) (2) capable of both transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves are attached. Let the tip of the first forceps be point P, the sensor closer to the tip be A, and the sensor farther away be B. The length between PA and AB is determined in advance. The tip of the second forceps is point Q, the sensor closer to the tip is C, the sensor farther is D, and the lengths of QC and CD are also determined. The length (AC, AD, BC, BD) between the sensors of different forceps is processed by the microcomputer (3), the time lag from when one sensor transmits an ultrasonic wave until the other receives an ultrasonic wave, The length between sensors is calculated from the speed of sound. From these lengths, the distance between PQs is obtained indirectly by a method using the cosine theorem. The result is transmitted to a personal computer (4) connected via USB and displayed.
The method of obtaining PQ using the cosine theorem is as follows.
・ PA, AB, QC and CD are known.
・ AC, AD, BC, and BD are obtained using sensors.
・ Cos ∠ ADC is obtained from the cosine theorem.
Since ∠ADC = ∠ADQ, QA can be obtained from the cosine theorem in ΔQAD.
・ Cos ∠ BDC is obtained from the cosine theorem.
Since ∠BDC = ∠BDQ, QB is obtained from the cosine theorem in ΔQBD.
-In ΔABQ, cos ∠ ABQ is obtained from the cosine theorem.
Since ∠ABQ = ∠PBQ, PQ is obtained from the cosine theorem in ΔPBQ.
The present invention has the above structure.
When using this, insert two forceps into the body cavity, place the tip of each forceps at the two points to be measured under the microscope, and read the distance displayed on the personal computer.
