Definitions

  • This application relates to hand-held tools, and more particularly to instruments for use in minimally invasive surgery.
  • Reconstructive surgery is a specialized kind of surgery intended to restore normal tissue appearance and function. Many reconstructive procedures require providing additional tissue to an area of deformity. Tissue is usually obtained by harvest from an uninjured location elsewhere on the patient. Techniques have been developed for harvest and transfer of many kinds of tissues: bone, muscle, blood vessels, nerves, fatty tissue, and intraabdominal viscera. Bone may be used for restoring defects in the head and neck or extremities. Muscles may be used for restoring missing tissue bulk to restore body contours, to promote healing in difficult areas, or to provide a functional reconstruction by restoring contractile tissue to an area of loss. Blood vessels may be used for vascular reconstruction, for example, in coronary artery or peripheral vascular disease.
  • Nerves, fatty tissue and viscera each have a variety of important uses. Because many of these useful tissues are located subcutaneously (below the skin), it is ordinarily necessary to incise in the overlying skin in order to harvest them. The skin must then be properly repaired, which prolongs the time of the operation. It also introduces the possibility of wound healing problems like infection and results in scars that may be deforming. It is a major incentive to develop endoscopic methods which can harvest subcutaneous tissues without experiencing these problems. Generally, endoscopic surgery involves use of a video camera for visualization and specialized instruments that displace the effective action of the instrument a longer distance from the hand controls than standard instruments. Complex operations are possible through incisions that are smaller and located at a distant site.
  • the pleura and rib cage enclose the thoracic cavity.
  • the abdominal cavity is contained by the peritoneum.
  • the joint capsule surrounds a joint between bones.
  • These enclosing structures form a potential space that may be filled with optically clear liquid or gas to create a cavity (i.e. an "optical space") into which a camera and surgical instruments may be inserted.
  • Many tissues are not anatomically enclosed and thus are not easily approached using current techniques. Examples are many structures in the neck, subcutaneous muscles, peripheral neurovascular structures including the saphenous vein, and lymph node basins of the extremities.
  • Current methods for working in subcutaneous locations have two principle limitations: (1) difficulty maintaining the optical space in locations not anatomically enclosed and (2) the requirement for simultaneous use of multiple instruments.
  • Surgical tissue dissection during an operation involves five essential elements: retraction, cutting, hemostasis, irrigation, and suction.
  • Retraction moves tissues out of the area being dissected in order to protect them and to allow visualization of the operating field.
  • Cutting tissues separates them from each other.
  • Hemostasis stops blood escaping from open blood vessels by either mechanically occluding the vessel using sutures or metal clips or by cauterizing the vessel by applying either an electrical current or ultrasound.
  • Suction and irrigation remove debris from the surgical field.
  • Most currently available endoscopic instruments are designed to accomplish only one of these functions at a time. Thus, in a complex operation simultaneous use of multiple instruments is usually required. When passed through limited incisions the instruments interfere with each other and impede the progress of the operation. The surgeon also requires additional surgical assistants in order to handle the various instruments. Thus, the use of multiple instruments increases both the complexity and expense of endoscopic surgery.

Control ring 28 may be linked to the cautery device by a wire system running the length of the shaft. By moving finger control ring 28 back and forth, a cautery device may be made to move back and forth, side to side, or in any other suitable manner. For instance, movement of the control ring 28 may move a cautery blade in a circular pattern in a horizontal plane through various tissues.

Control mechanisms may be designed for right or left-handed individuals.

  • the instrument is an improvement over previous methods of minimally invasive surgery because it offers a better method to create an optical space and reduces the number of instruments required to perform an endoscopic procedure.
  • Previous instruments retracted in only one direction and depended upon constant force exerted by the surgeon. These prior art instruments fatigued the surgeon, provided inconsistent visualization, and did not consistently place the tissues under proper tension.
  • the present invention creates an optical space with more ease, consistency, and mobility. Such an optical space may be more easily enlarged as the controlled mechanical retraction places tissues at the margins under proper tension. Further, there is less operator fatigue as compared to prior art instruments, because constant force by the surgeon is not required. The number of instruments is also reduced by concentrating the necessary elements of operation into a single instrument.

Allowing for a flexible design, the present invention makes endoscopic dissection around complex surfaces straightforward, whereas using prior art devices, such a task would be difficult if not impossible.
  • the principle of design of this instrument may be used to yield a family of products to enable endoscopic dissection in unbounded tissue spaces.
  • Examples of common procedures that may be performed using this type of instrument (or modifications of it) include muscle harvest including latissimus dorsi (especially for breast reconstruction), rectus abdominis, pectoralis major, gracilis, serratus anterior, trapezius, tensor fasciae latae, gastrocnemius, and soleus (Miller et al. , 1994, 1995 ; Robb and Miller; Staley et al. , 1994; Ota et al. , 1996).
  • the present invention may be used for harvesting other tissues, such as the saphenous vein (for cardiovascular reconstruction) and the sural nerve (for peripheral nerve reconstruction).
  • the present invention may be used for lymph node biopsy and dissection, biopsy and/or ablation (i.e. excision, cryotherapy, cauterization, ultrasound) of subcutaneous tumors (including breast), peripheral neuroma exploration, placement of tissue expanders and breast implants, lipectomy for body contouring, and abdominoplasty, among other procedures.
