Description

本発明は、経内視鏡的に被検体内に挿入され、高周波電流の通電により隆起状病変を切除するための内視鏡用高周波スネア装置、内視鏡用高周波スネア及びその駆動装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an endoscopic high-frequency snare device, an endoscopic high-frequency snare device, and a driving device for the endoscopic high-frequency snare device that are inserted into a subject through a transendoscope and excise a raised lesion by energizing a high-frequency current.

電子内視鏡を利用した医療検査では、内視鏡用処置具を用いて生体組織の採取や切除などの様々な処置を行っている。内視鏡用処置具としては、例えば、隆起状病変(いわゆるポリープ)を切除するための高周波スネアが知られている。高周波スネアは、電子内視鏡の鉗子チャンネルに挿通されるシースと、シースの先端に設けられたスネアループと、シースの基端に設けられた手元操作部とを備えている。   In a medical examination using an electronic endoscope, various treatments such as collection and excision of a living tissue are performed using an endoscope treatment tool. As an endoscope treatment tool, for example, a high-frequency snare for excising a raised lesion (so-called polyp) is known. The high-frequency snare includes a sheath that is inserted into the forceps channel of the electronic endoscope, a snare loop provided at the distal end of the sheath, and a hand operation unit provided at the proximal end of the sheath.

高周波スネアを用いて隆起状病変を切除する際には、まず、手元操作部を操作して、シース内部に挿通された操作ワイヤを先端に向けて押し出すことにより、操作ワイヤの先端に連結されたスネアループをシースの先端から押し出してループ状に膨らませ、スネアループで隆起状病変を囲い込む。次いで、再び手元操作部を操作して、操作ワイヤを基端に引くことにより、スネアループをシースの先端に引き込み、スネアループで隆起状病変を緊縛する。そして、この状態でスネアループに高周波電流を通電し、隆起状病変を切除する。   When excising a raised lesion using a high-frequency snare, first, the operator manipulated the hand manipulator and pushed the maneuver inserted through the sheath toward the tip, thereby being connected to the tip of the maneuver. The snare loop is pushed out from the tip of the sheath and inflated in a loop shape, and the raised lesion is surrounded by the snare loop. Next, by operating the hand operation unit again and pulling the operation wire to the proximal end, the snare loop is drawn into the distal end of the sheath, and the raised lesion is bound by the snare loop. In this state, a high-frequency current is applied to the snare loop to remove the raised lesion.

隆起状病変を切除した後は、切除部分からの出血を速やかに止血する必要がある。従来、止血をする際には、高周波スネアを鉗子チャンネルから引き抜き、高周波スネアとは別の止血用の処置具(止血鉗子)を鉗子チャンネルに挿通していた。このため、処置具の引き抜き及び挿通に時間と手間がかかり、場合によっては出血多量となって患者に負担が掛かっていた。   After removing the raised lesion, it is necessary to immediately stop bleeding from the excised part. Conventionally, when hemostasis is performed, a high-frequency snare is pulled out from the forceps channel, and a hemostatic treatment tool (hemostatic forceps) different from the high-frequency snare is inserted into the forceps channel. For this reason, it took time and effort to pull out and insert the treatment tool, and in some cases, the amount of bleeding was increased, and the patient was burdened.

この問題を解決するために、シースの先端から出没可能に設けられたスネアループと、シースの先端から嵌入されたその外周面を覆うように形成されるスリーブ状の凝固止血用電極との2種類の電極を設けた高周波スネアが提案されている(特許文献1)。これによれば、1本の高周波スネアで切除と止血を行うことができるので、処置具を取り替える手間がない。また、この高周波スネアでは、凝固止血用電極は、シースの先端から基端側にずらして配置されており、シースの先端には、スネアループと凝固止血用電極の短絡を防止するための絶縁部分が形成されている。また、スネアループと凝固止血用電極で別々の接続端子を用意し、スネアループで隆起状病変を切除後、端子を入れ替えることで凝固止血用電極への切り替えを行っている。
特開平05−337130号公報
In order to solve this problem, there are two types: a snare loop that can be projected and retracted from the distal end of the sheath, and a sleeve-shaped coagulation and hemostasis electrode that is formed so as to cover the outer peripheral surface inserted from the distal end of the sheath A high-frequency snare provided with these electrodes has been proposed (Patent Document 1). According to this, since excision and hemostasis can be performed with one high-frequency snare, there is no need to replace the treatment tool. Further, in this high-frequency snare, the coagulation hemostasis electrode is shifted from the distal end of the sheath to the proximal end side, and an insulating portion for preventing a short circuit between the snare loop and the coagulation hemostasis electrode is provided at the sheath distal end. Is formed. In addition, a separate connection terminal is prepared for the snare loop and the coagulation hemostasis electrode, and after switching the raised lesion with the snare loop, the terminal is replaced to switch to the coagulation hemostasis electrode.

本発明の内視鏡用高周波スネアの駆動装置は、上記記載の本発明の内視鏡用高周波スネアに接続され、前記第1及び第2の高周波電流を前記スネアループ及び前記凝固止血用電極に供給する高周波電源と、前記検知手段の検知結果に応じて、前記第1及び第2の高周波電流を切り替える切り替え手段とを備えることを特徴とする内視鏡用高周波スネアの駆動装置。   The endoscope high-frequency snare driving device of the present invention is connected to the endoscope high-frequency snare of the present invention described above, and the first and second high-frequency currents are applied to the snare loop and the coagulation hemostasis electrode.

図1に示すように、本発明の高周波スネア10は、内視鏡11とともに患者Pの体腔内に挿入して、腫瘍(隆起状病変)などの患部の切除や患部を切除した後の止血を行うために用いられる。高周波スネア10は、内視鏡11の鉗子チャンネル11aに挿通されるシース15と、シース15内の貫通孔15a(図2参照)に挿通される操作ワイヤ16と、この操作ワイヤ16の先端に設けられたスネアループ17と、このスネアループ17の先端に取り付けられた止血用電極18と、操作ワイヤ16を介してスネアループ17を操作する手元操作部19と、操作ワイヤ16と高周波電源20とを接続する接続コード21とを備えている。スネアループ17は導電性ワイヤで形成されており、患部を焼灼切除するための電極として機能する。また、高周波スネア10は対極板22とともに使用され、この対極板22は患者Pの患部位置付近に取り付けられている。対極板22は、接続コード23により高周波電源20と接続している。   As shown in FIG. 1, the high-frequency snare 10 of the present invention is inserted into a body cavity of a patient P together with an endoscope 11 to excise an affected area such as a tumor (raised lesion) or to stop hemostasis after the affected area is excised. Used to do. The high-frequency snare 10 is provided at the sheath 15 inserted into the forceps channel 11 a of the endoscope 11, the operation wire 16 inserted through the through hole 15 a (see FIG. 2) in the sheath 15, and the distal end of the operation wire 16. A snare loop 17, a hemostatic electrode 18 attached to the tip of the snare loop 17, a hand operating section 19 for operating the snare loop 17 via the operating wire 16, an operating wire 16 and a high frequency power source 20. And a connection cord 21 to be connected. The snare loop 17 is formed of a conductive wire and functions as an electrode for excision of the affected area. The high-frequency snare 10 is used together with a counter electrode plate 22, and this counter electrode plate 22 is attached in the vicinity of the position of the affected part of the patient P. The counter electrode plate 22 is connected to the high frequency power supply 20 by a connection cord 23.

高周波電源20は、高周波スネア10の接続コード21が接続されるスネア接続部20aと、対極板22の接続コード23が接続される対極板接続部20bとを備えている。高周波電源20の高周波電流には電源のONとOFFを交互に繰り返すスイッチング電流が用いられ、このスイッチング電流には、ONの時間が100%である低電圧の患部切除用の高周波電流と、ONの時間が6%でOFFの時間が94%である高電圧の止血用の高周波電流とがある。患部切除用の高周波電流と止血用の高周波電流との切替は、高周波電源20内の電流切替部26により行われる。また、高周波電源20には、スネアループ17及び止血用電極18に高周波電流を流すための足踏みスイッチ27が接続されている。なお、患部切除用の高周波電流及び止血用の高周波電流におけるONとOFFの時間の割合は、上記パーセントに限る必要はない。   The high frequency power supply 20 includes a snare connection portion 20a to which the connection cord 21 of the high frequency snare 10 is connected, and a counter electrode plate connection portion 20b to which the connection cord 23 of the counter electrode plate 22 is connected. The high-frequency current of the high-frequency power supply 20 is a switching current that alternately turns on and off the power supply. The switching current includes a high-frequency current for excision of a low-voltage affected part whose ON time is 100%, and ON There is a high voltage high frequency current for hemostasis with a time of 6% and an OFF time of 94%. Switching between the high frequency current for excision of the affected part and the high frequency current for hemostasis is performed by the current switching unit 26 in the high frequency power supply 20. The high frequency power supply 20 is connected to a foot switch 27 for flowing a high frequency current to the snare loop 17 and the hemostasis electrode 18. The ratio of the ON and OFF times in the high frequency current for excision of the affected area and the high frequency current for hemostasis need not be limited to the above percentage.

操作ワイヤ16は導電性のワイヤであり、高周波電源20からの高周波電流をスネアループ17及び止血用電極18に送る。スネアループ17も導電性ワイヤで形成されており、止血用電極18の導線として使用される。このため、スネアループ17と止血用電極18のそれぞれに、別々の配線を設ける必要がないので、シースの先端部に止血用電極を設けた従来例と比較して、シース15内を挿通させる配線数が少なくて済み、シースを細径化する場合に有利である。   The operation wire 16 is a conductive wire and sends a high-frequency current from the high-frequency power source 20 to the snare loop 17 and the hemostasis electrode 18. The snare loop 17 is also formed of a conductive wire and is used as a conducting wire for the hemostatic electrode 18. For this reason, there is no need to provide separate wires for each of the snare loop 17 and the hemostasis electrode 18, so that the wire passing through the sheath 15 is compared with the conventional example in which the hemostasis electrode is provided at the distal end of the sheath. The number is small, which is advantageous when the sheath is made thin.

高周波電流は、スネアループ17及び止血用電極18と、対極板22との間で、患者Pの人体を介して流れて、マイクロ波を発生させる。このマイクロ波によって患部が誘電加熱されて、切除や止血が行われる。   The high-frequency current flows through the human body of the patient P between the snare loop 17 and the hemostatic electrode 18 and the counter electrode plate 22 to generate a microwave. The affected part is dielectrically heated by this microwave, and excision and hemostasis are performed.

図2(A)に示すように、スネアループ17は、手元操作部19の操作により操作ワイヤ16がシース15の貫通孔15aから押し出されると、自己の弾性によりループ状に膨らむ。また、図2(B)に示すように、スネアループ17は、手元操作部19の操作により操作ワイヤ16がシース15内に牽引されると、窄まりながら貫通孔15a内に収納される。止血用電極18は、スネアループ17の進退に伴って、シース15の軸方向に沿って進退する。   As shown in FIG. 2A, when the operation wire 16 is pushed out from the through hole 15a of the sheath 15 by the operation of the hand operation unit 19, the snare loop 17 swells in a loop shape due to its own elasticity. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the snare loop 17 is housed in the through hole 15a while being narrowed when the operation wire 16 is pulled into the sheath 15 by the operation of the hand operation unit 19. The hemostasis electrode 18 advances and retreats along the axial direction of the sheath 15 as the snare loop 17 advances and retreats.

図3に示すように、止血用電極18は、例えば、略円柱形状をしており、不用意に消化管の内壁に傷が付かないように角が丸められている。図2(A)に示すように、止血用電極18の外径Dは、シース15の貫通孔15aの内径dよりも大きく形成されている。こうすることで、止血用電極18が、スネアループ17の引き込みに伴って、シース15の先端に向かって後退したときに、止血用電極18の後端面がシース15の先端に当接して、その直前位置で止血用電極18が止まる。操作ワイヤ16を牽引している限り、止血用電極18は後方に引っ張られるため、シース15の先端との当接状態が保たれて、止血用電極18の位置及び姿勢が安定する。   As shown in FIG. 3, the hemostatic electrode 18 has, for example, a substantially cylindrical shape, and the corners are rounded so that the inner wall of the digestive tract is not inadvertently damaged. As shown in FIG. 2A, the outer diameter D of the hemostatic electrode 18 is formed larger than the inner diameter d of the through hole 15a of the sheath 15. In this way, when the hemostasis electrode 18 retracts toward the distal end of the sheath 15 as the snare loop 17 is retracted, the rear end surface of the hemostasis electrode 18 comes into contact with the distal end of the sheath 15, The hemostatic electrode 18 stops at the immediately preceding position. As long as the operation wire 16 is pulled, the hemostatic electrode 18 is pulled backward, so that the contact state with the tip of the sheath 15 is maintained, and the position and posture of the hemostatic electrode 18 are stabilized.

仮に、止血用電極18の外径Dが貫通孔15aの内径dよりも小さいと、止血用電極18がシース15内に没入するおそれがあるばかりでなく、シース15との当接状態を保ちにくい。止血用電極18が、シース15との当接によって支えられないと、シース15の先端付近に垂れ下がった状態となり、位置や姿勢が安定しない。止血用電極18は、手技による位置調整が行われて、止血を要する出血部位にあてがわれるため、その位置や姿勢が安定しないと、手技による位置調整がしにくい。外径Dを内径dよりも大きくすることで、止血用電極18とシース15の先端との当接状態が容易に保たれて、止血用電極18の位置及び姿勢が安定するので、止血の際の操作性が向上する。   If the outer diameter D of the hemostasis electrode 18 is smaller than the inner diameter d of the through-hole 15a, not only the hemostasis electrode 18 may be immersed in the sheath 15 but also the contact state with the sheath 15 is difficult to maintain. . If the hemostatic electrode 18 is not supported by contact with the sheath 15, the hemostasis electrode 18 hangs down near the distal end of the sheath 15, and the position and posture are not stable. The position of the hemostasis electrode 18 is adjusted by a technique and applied to a bleeding site that requires hemostasis. Therefore, if the position and posture are not stable, the position adjustment by the technique is difficult. By making the outer diameter D larger than the inner diameter d, the contact state between the hemostatic electrode 18 and the distal end of the sheath 15 can be easily maintained, and the position and posture of the hemostatic electrode 18 are stabilized. Improved operability.

図2に示すように、圧力センサ24はシース15の先端部に取り付けられており、止血用電極18がシース15の先端に接触したときの接触圧を検知する。また、圧力センサの配線(図示省略)はシース15の内壁に固定されており、この配線は接続コード21を介して高周波電源20と接続している。圧力センサ24は、止血用電極18の接触圧を検知すると、接触検知信号を高周波電源20に送信する。高周波電源20の電流切替部26は、圧力センサ24からの接触検知信号に応答して、高周波電源20の電流を止血用の高周波電流に切り替える。   As shown in FIG. 2, the pressure sensor 24 is attached to the distal end portion of the sheath 15, and detects the contact pressure when the hemostatic electrode 18 contacts the distal end of the sheath 15. Further, the wiring (not shown) of the pressure sensor is fixed to the inner wall of the sheath 15, and this wiring is connected to the high frequency power supply 20 via the connection cord 21. When the pressure sensor 24 detects the contact pressure of the hemostatic electrode 18, the pressure sensor 24 transmits a contact detection signal to the high frequency power supply 20. The current switching unit 26 of the high frequency power supply 20 switches the current of the high frequency power supply 20 to a high frequency current for hemostasis in response to the contact detection signal from the pressure sensor 24.

患部切除時からその後の止血時までの止血用電極の位置は、次のように変化する。患部の切除は、スネアループ17をシース15内に引き込みながら行われ、止血用電極18は、この引き込みに伴って止血用電極18がシース15の先端に向かって後退する。患部切除中は、スネアループ17が患部を囲い込んでいるため、止血用電極18とシース15の先端とは当接しない。患部が切除されると、スネアループ17がシース15内に引き込まれるとともに、その勢いで止血用電極18が後退してシース15の先端に当接し、その状態で止血が行われる。   The position of the hemostatic electrode from the time of excision of the affected area to the time of subsequent hemostasis changes as follows. The excision of the affected part is performed while the snare loop 17 is drawn into the sheath 15, and the hemostatic electrode 18 is retracted toward the distal end of the sheath 15 along with this drawing. During excision of the affected area, the snare loop 17 surrounds the affected area, so that the hemostatic electrode 18 and the tip of the sheath 15 do not contact each other. When the affected part is excised, the snare loop 17 is drawn into the sheath 15, and the hemostasis electrode 18 is retracted by the momentum to come into contact with the distal end of the sheath 15, and hemostasis is performed in this state.

このように、患部切除時と止血時において止血用電極18の位置が変化するが、圧力センサ24によって止血用電極18の位置が検知され、その位置検出に応じて、止血用の高周波電流に自動的に切り替えられる。従来は、高周波電流の切り替えが、フットペダル操作による切り替えなどオペレータの操作に委ねられていたため、高周波電流の切り替え忘れが生じる懸念があったが、本発明のように、止血用電極18の位置に応じて高周波電流の自動切り替えを行うことで、そうした懸念がなくなる。また、操作を誤って、患部切除中に、止血用の高周波電流を流したり、止血中に、患部切除用の高周波電流を流してしまうなどの選択ミスも防止される。さらに、自動切り替えによって、オペレータは高周波電流の切り替えを意識することなく、切除処置から止血処置にスムーズに移行することができるとともに、手技に集中することができる。   In this way, the position of the hemostatic electrode 18 changes between the excision of the affected part and the hemostasis, but the position of the hemostatic electrode 18 is detected by the pressure sensor 24, and the high frequency current for hemostasis is automatically detected according to the position detection. Can be switched automatically. Conventionally, since switching of the high-frequency current is entrusted to the operator's operation such as switching by foot pedal operation, there has been a concern that switching of the high-frequency current may be forgotten. In response, automatic switching of the high-frequency current eliminates such concerns. In addition, it is possible to prevent selection mistakes such as a high frequency current for hemostasis flowing during the excision of the affected part by mistaken operation and a high frequency current for excision of the affected part during the hemostasis. Furthermore, the automatic switching allows the operator to smoothly shift from the excision procedure to the hemostasis procedure without being aware of the switching of the high-frequency current, and can concentrate on the procedure.

次に、高周波スネアを用いた手技の操作手順について説明する。まず、内視鏡11で患者Pの体腔内を観察し、その観察中に病変部や異物などの患部を発見した場合には、内視鏡11の鉗子チャンネル11aに高周波スネア10を挿通し、内視鏡11の先端部からシース15を突出させる。なお、高周波スネア10を挿通する際には、スネアループ17が鉗子チャンネル11aの内部で引っかからないように、スネアループ17をシース15の貫通孔15a内に収納した状態にしておく。   Next, the operation procedure of the procedure using the high frequency snare will be described. First, the inside of the body cavity of the patient P is observed with the endoscope 11, and when an affected part such as a lesion or a foreign body is found during the observation, the high-frequency snare 10 is inserted into the forceps channel 11a of the endoscope 11, The sheath 15 is protruded from the distal end portion of the endoscope 11. When the high-frequency snare 10 is inserted, the snare loop 17 is housed in the through hole 15a of the sheath 15 so that the snare loop 17 is not caught inside the forceps channel 11a.

シース15の先端が患部付近にまで到達したときには、スネアループ17をシース15の先端から押し出して、略楕円状に膨らませる。そして、図4に示すように、略楕円状に膨らんだスネアループ17で患部30を囲んだ上で、操作ワイヤ16をシース15内に引き込み、患部30をスネアループ17及び止血用電極18で締め付ける。この状態で、オペレータは足踏みスイッチ27を踏む。これにより、図5に示すように、スネアループ17及び止血用電極18に患部切除用の高周波電流が流れ、患部30が切除される。   When the distal end of the sheath 15 reaches the vicinity of the affected area, the snare loop 17 is pushed out from the distal end of the sheath 15 and is expanded in a substantially elliptical shape. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, after surrounding the affected area 30 with the snare loop 17 swelled in a substantially elliptical shape, the operation wire 16 is drawn into the sheath 15, and the affected area 30 is tightened with the snare loop 17 and the hemostatic electrode 18. . In this state, the operator steps on the foot switch 27. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the high frequency current for excision of the affected area flows through the snare loop 17 and the hemostatic electrode 18, and the affected area 30 is excised.

患部切除の際には、操作ワイヤ16が牽引されているので、患部30が切除されると、その勢いでスネアループ17がシース15内に引き込まれる。これに伴って、止血用電極18もシース15の先端に向かって後退し、先端に当接したところで止まる。止血用電極18がシース15の先端に当接すると、圧力センサ24から接触検知信号が高周波電源20の送信される。この接触検知信号に応答して、電流切替部26は止血用の高周波電流に切り替える。   At the time of excision of the affected part, since the operation wire 16 is pulled, when the affected part 30 is excised, the snare loop 17 is drawn into the sheath 15 with the momentum. Along with this, the hemostatic electrode 18 also moves backward toward the distal end of the sheath 15 and stops when it comes into contact with the distal end. When the hemostatic electrode 18 comes into contact with the tip of the sheath 15, a contact detection signal is transmitted from the pressure sensor 24 to the high frequency power supply 20. In response to the contact detection signal, the current switching unit 26 switches to a high frequency current for hemostasis.

患部を切除した後、図6に示すように、出血部位32に止血用電極18をあてがうために、手技によるシース15の位置調整が行われる。止血用電極18は、シース15との当接により、位置や姿勢が安定しているため、手技による位置調整がしやすい。また、止血用電極18は、患部切除直後において、シース15の先端よりも前方で止まるので、出血部位32の直上位置付近に位置する。この位置は、シース先端部に止血用電極を設けた従来例と比較して、出血部位32により近い。そのため、止血用電極18を出血部位32にあてがうための位置調整量が少なくて済み、従来と比べて操作性が向上する。オペレータは、止血用電極18が出血部位32に接触すると、足踏みスイッチ27を踏んで、止血用電極18に止血用の高周波電流を流す。これにより、出血部位32が凝固して止血される。   After removing the affected part, as shown in FIG. 6, the position of the sheath 15 is adjusted by a procedure in order to apply the hemostatic electrode 18 to the bleeding site 32. Since the position and posture of the hemostatic electrode 18 are stable due to contact with the sheath 15, it is easy to adjust the position by a technique. Further, the hemostasis electrode 18 stops immediately before the distal end of the sheath 15 immediately after excision of the affected area, and therefore is located in the vicinity of the position immediately above the bleeding site 32. This position is closer to the bleeding site 32 as compared to the conventional example in which a hemostatic electrode is provided at the sheath tip. Therefore, the position adjustment amount for applying the hemostatic electrode 18 to the bleeding site 32 is small, and the operability is improved as compared with the conventional case. When the hemostasis electrode 18 comes into contact with the bleeding site 32, the operator steps on the foot switch 27 to flow a hemostasis high-frequency current to the hemostasis electrode 18. As a result, the bleeding site 32 is coagulated and stopped.

なお、本実施形態では、高周波電源の高周波電流にスイッチング電流を用い、患部切除時にはONを連続的に繰り返す高周波電流を流し、止血時にはONを断続的に繰り返す高周波電流を流したが、これに限る必要はない。例えば、患部切除時と止血時とで高周波電流の電流値を相異させてもよい。   In the present embodiment, a switching current is used as the high-frequency current of the high-frequency power source. A high-frequency current that is continuously turned ON is supplied when the affected part is excised, and a high-frequency current that is repeatedly turned ON is supplied when hemostasis is performed. There is no need. For example, the current value of the high-frequency current may be different between the excision of the affected part and the hemostasis.

なお、本実施形態では、高周波スネアとして、対極板を使用するモノポーラ型の高周波スネアを用いたが、これに限らず、対極板を使用しないバイポーラ型の高周波スネアを用いてもよい。この場合には、図7に示すように、操作ワイヤ16を一対の導電ワイヤ16a,16bから構成し、スネアループ17の一方の基端部17aを操作ワイヤ16aに、スネアループ17のもう一方の基端部17bを操作ワイヤ16bに接続する。各導電ワイヤ16a,16bはショートしないように絶縁される。そして、止血用電極18に絶縁体35を設け、この絶縁体35を境にして、止血用電極18及びスネアループ17を二つの電極36,37に分ける。電極36,37及びスネアループ17に高周波電流が流れると、スネアループ17のループ内でマイクロ波が発生する。   In the present embodiment, a monopolar high-frequency snare using a counter electrode plate is used as the high-frequency snare. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a bipolar high-frequency snare that does not use a counter electrode plate may be used. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the operation wire 16 is composed of a pair of conductive wires 16a and 16b, one base end portion 17a of the snare loop 17 is used as the operation wire 16a, and the other snare loop 17 is used. The base end portion 17b is connected to the operation wire 16b. The conductive wires 16a and 16b are insulated so as not to be short-circuited. Then, an insulator 35 is provided on the hemostasis electrode 18, and the hemostasis electrode 18 and the snare loop 17 are divided into two electrodes 36 and 37 with the insulator 35 as a boundary. When a high frequency current flows through the electrodes 36 and 37 and the snare loop 17, a microwave is generated in the loop of the snare loop 17.

なお、本実施形態では、止血用電極の外径をシースの貫通孔の内径よりも大きくして、止血用電極がシースの先端に当接して止まるようにしたが、図8に示すように、シース42の貫通孔42aの開口付近に、止血用電極43の後端面と当接する規制部材40を設ければ、止血用電極43の外径D1を貫通孔の内径d1よりも小さくしてもよい。規制部材40は、例えば、ドーナツ状をしており、中央に形成された開口40aを介してスネアループ17が挿通できるようになっている。止血用電極43の外径D1が、この開口40aの径d2よりも大きければ、止血用電極43の後端面が規制部材40と当接するので、止血用電極43をシース15の先端直前の位置で止めることができる。また、規制部材40には本実施形態と同様の圧力センサ44が取り付けられており、止血用電極43が規制部材40に当接したときの接触圧を検知する。   In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the hemostasis electrode is made larger than the inner diameter of the through hole of the sheath so that the hemostasis electrode abuts against the distal end of the sheath, but as shown in FIG. If a regulating member 40 that contacts the rear end surface of the hemostatic electrode 43 is provided near the opening of the through hole 42a of the sheath 42, the outer diameter D1 of the hemostatic electrode 43 may be made smaller than the inner diameter d1 of the through hole. . The regulating member 40 has, for example, a donut shape, and the snare loop 17 can be inserted through an opening 40a formed at the center. If the outer diameter D1 of the hemostatic electrode 43 is larger than the diameter d2 of the opening 40a, the rear end surface of the hemostatic electrode 43 comes into contact with the regulating member 40, so that the hemostatic electrode 43 is placed at a position immediately before the distal end of the sheath 15. Can be stopped. Further, a pressure sensor 44 similar to that of the present embodiment is attached to the regulating member 40, and a contact pressure when the hemostatic electrode 43 contacts the regulating member 40 is detected.

なお、本実施形態では、止血用電極の形状を略円柱状として説明したが、これに限らず、例えば、図9に示す止血用電極45のような、先端が先細の弾頭形状など、他の形状でもよい。また、止血用電極は、通電により発熱するので、止血用電極との接触によりシースが溶融するのを防止するため、シースの先端に断熱材料を設けてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the shape of the hemostatic electrode has been described as a substantially cylindrical shape. However, the shape is not limited to this, and other shapes such as a warhead shape having a tapered tip, such as the hemostatic electrode 45 shown in FIG. Shape may be sufficient. In addition, since the hemostatic electrode generates heat when energized, a heat insulating material may be provided at the distal end of the sheath in order to prevent the sheath from melting due to contact with the hemostatic electrode.

なお、本実施形態では、止血用電極の配線をスネアループと共用した例で説明したが、止血用電極のための配線と、スネアループのための配線とをそれぞれ別々に設けてもよい。この場合には、例えば、絶縁材料で被覆された配線をスネアループに沿って配設し、これを止血用電極に接続する。そして、スネアループと止血用電極の間も絶縁しておく。こうすれば、止血用の高周波電流が止血用電極のみに流れ、患部切除用の高周波電流がスネアループのみに流れるようになる。   In this embodiment, the example in which the wiring for the hemostasis electrode is shared with the snare loop has been described. However, the wiring for the hemostasis electrode and the wiring for the snare loop may be provided separately. In this case, for example, a wiring covered with an insulating material is disposed along the snare loop and connected to the hemostatic electrode. The snare loop and the hemostatic electrode are also insulated. In this way, the high frequency current for hemostasis flows only to the hemostatic electrode, and the high frequency current for excision of the affected area flows only to the snare loop.

なお、本実施形態では、圧力センサを用いて、止血用電極がシースの先端に当接したことを検知したが、検知センサは、これに限定されない。例えば図10に示すように、圧力センサの代わりにフォトセンサ51を用いてもよい。フォトセンサ51は、例えば、反射型のフォトセンサであり、シース15の内部に設けられ、その投光部及び受光部が操作ワイヤ16と対面するように配置される。操作ワイヤ16には、スネアループ17の基端付近にマーク50が設けられる。マーク50は、止血用電極18がシース15の先端と当接したときに、フォトセンサ51と対面する位置に来るように配置される。フォトセンサ51は、マーク50を検知したときにマーク検知信号を電流切替部26に出力する。電流切替部26は、マーク検知信号に応答して、高周波電源20の電流を止血用の高周波電流に切り替える。   In the present embodiment, the pressure sensor is used to detect that the hemostatic electrode is in contact with the distal end of the sheath, but the detection sensor is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a photosensor 51 may be used instead of the pressure sensor. The photosensor 51 is, for example, a reflection type photosensor, is provided inside the sheath 15, and is arranged so that the light projecting portion and the light receiving portion face the operation wire 16. The operation wire 16 is provided with a mark 50 near the proximal end of the snare loop 17. The mark 50 is disposed so as to come to a position facing the photosensor 51 when the hemostatic electrode 18 comes into contact with the distal end of the sheath 15. The photosensor 51 outputs a mark detection signal to the current switching unit 26 when the mark 50 is detected. The current switching unit 26 switches the current of the high frequency power supply 20 to a high frequency current for hemostasis in response to the mark detection signal.

また、図11に示すように、手元操作部19の本体軸55にマイクロスイッチ56を設ける。そして、マイクロスイッチ56により止血用電極18がシース15の先端に当接したことを検知してもよい。手元操作部19の本体軸55は、連結部54を介して、シース15の基端部に取り付けられている。本体軸55にはスライダ57がスライド可能に取り付けられており、このスライダ57に操作ワイヤ16が連結されている。また、マイクロスイッチ56は、止血用電極18がシース15の先端に当接したときに、スライダ57と当接するように設けられている。マイクロスイッチ56がスライダ57と当接すると、接触検知信号を電流切替部26に出力する。この検知信号に応答して、電流切替部26は止血用の高周波電流に切り替える。   Further, as shown in FIG. 11, a micro switch 56 is provided on the main body shaft 55 of the hand operation unit 19. Then, the microswitch 56 may detect that the hemostatic electrode 18 is in contact with the distal end of the sheath 15. The body shaft 55 of the hand operation unit 19 is attached to the proximal end portion of the sheath 15 via the connecting portion 54. A slider 57 is slidably attached to the main body shaft 55, and the operation wire 16 is connected to the slider 57. The microswitch 56 is provided so as to contact the slider 57 when the hemostatic electrode 18 contacts the tip of the sheath 15. When the micro switch 56 comes into contact with the slider 57, a contact detection signal is output to the current switching unit 26. In response to this detection signal, the current switching unit 26 switches to a high frequency current for hemostasis.

なお、本実施形態では、圧力センサをシースの先端部に設けたが、これに限る必要はなく、例えば、手元操作部の本体軸に圧力センサを設けてもよい。この場合、圧力センサは、止血用電極がシースの先端に当接したときに、スライダと当接するように設けられている。また、上述したマイクロスイッチを手元操作部ではなくシースの先端部に設けてもよい。この場合、マイクロスイッチは、止血用電極がシースの先端に当接したときに、その当接に従って接触検知信号を電流切替部に出力する。   In the present embodiment, the pressure sensor is provided at the distal end portion of the sheath. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pressure sensor may be provided on the main body shaft of the hand operation portion. In this case, the pressure sensor is provided so as to contact the slider when the hemostatic electrode contacts the distal end of the sheath. Further, the above-described microswitch may be provided at the distal end portion of the sheath instead of the hand operation portion. In this case, when the hemostatic electrode contacts the distal end of the sheath, the micro switch outputs a contact detection signal to the current switching unit according to the contact.

また、止血用電極がシースの先端に当接したときに導通して電流が流れる回路を設け、その電流を検知することで、止血用電極の当接を検知してもよい。   Alternatively, the contact of the hemostatic electrode may be detected by providing a circuit through which a current flows when the hemostatic electrode contacts the distal end of the sheath, and detecting the current.
