Abstract

The instrument cuts and/or coagulates live tissue using electromagnetic waves directed onto it. The beams from two lasers and one or more pilot light sources are passed together through the manipulator, emerging coaxially from it. The wavelength of one laser is such as to give coagulation, while that of the other has a cutting effect. The wavelength of the pilot light lies in the visible spectrum. The coagulating and cutting wavelengths can lie between 0.4 and 3 microns, and between 8 and 15 microns respectively. The coagulating beam can form a sleeve around the cutting beam.

Description

Einrichtung zum Schneiden und/oder Koagulieren von lebendemDevice for cutting and / or coagulating living

Gewebe.Tissue.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Schneiden und/oder Koagulieren von lebendem Gewebe mit Hilfe elektromagnetischer Wellen, welche über einen Manipulator an das zu schneidende und/oder koagulierende Gewebe geführt werden.The invention relates to a device for cutting and / or coagulating of living tissue with the help of electromagnetic waves, which are transmitted via a manipulator to the tissue to be cut and / or coagulated.

Eine derartige Einrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der US-PS 3 875 945 bekannt, bei welcher die Energie eines Radiofrequenzoszillators über ein Koaxialkabel der Schneidspitze eines Manipulators zugeführt wird. Die Einrichtung erlaubt den Wechsel zwischen drei chirurgischen Arbeitsweisen: Schneiden, Koagulieren und Verschorfen.Such a device is disclosed, for example, in US Pat. No. 3,875 945 known in which the energy of a radio frequency oscillator via a coaxial cable is fed to the cutting tip of a manipulator. The facility allows Alternation between three surgical modes of operation: cutting, coagulating and scabbing.

Eine weitere Einrichtung zum Schneiden und/oder Koagulieren menschlichen Gewebes in der Chirurgie ist aus der DE-AS 25 35 341 bekannt, welche benfalls mit Hilfe eines Hochfrequenzstromes arbeitet. Die durch Verwendung von Hochfrequenzspannung auftretenden Gefahren für den Patienten und den behandelnden Arzt sind hinreichend in dieser DE-AS beschrieben.Another device for cutting and / or coagulating human Tissue in surgery is known from DE-AS 25 35 341, which benfalls with Using a high frequency current works. Made by using high frequency voltage occurring dangers for the patient and the attending physician are sufficient described in this DE-AS.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Einrichtung zu schaffen, mit welcher nicht nur ein wechselweises, sondern auch ein gleichzeitiges Schneiden und Koagulieren lebenden Gewebes mëglich ist, und bei der auf elektrische Elektroden oder Sonden verzichtet werden kann.It is the object of the invention to provide a device with which not only alternate, but also simultaneous cutting and coagulation living tissue is possible, and when using electrical electrodes or probes can be dispensed with.

Die nach der Erfindung vorgesehene Einrichtung geht von der in der Chirurgie bekannten Verwendung von Laserstrahlen zum Schneiden lebenden Gewebes aus. Die Erfindung geht weiter von der Erkenntnis aus, daß aufgrund des für verschiedene Spektralbereiche unterschiedlichen Absorptionsvermögens des Gewebes, ein Laserlicht mir nur einer Wellenlänge nicht gleich gut zum Schneiden und zum Koagulieren geeignet ist. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß zum Schneiden von Gewebe der Spektralbereich zwischen 8 und 15 /um und zum Koagulieren der Spektralbereich zwischen 0,4 und 3/um besonders geeignet ist. Da beide Spektralbereiche nicht sichtbar sind, ist eine bei chirurgischen Lasergeräten ebenfalls bekannte Pilotlichtquelle vorgesehen (z.B. L.Wolbarsht, Laser Applications in Medicine and Biology, Vol. 2, 1974, Plenum Press, New York), welche den Strahlengang des Laserlichtes anzeigt.The device provided according to the invention is based on that in Known use of laser beams for surgery Cutting living Fabric. The invention is based on the knowledge that due to the different absorption capacities of the tissue for different spectral ranges, a laser light with only one wavelength is not equally good for cutting and for Coagulating is suitable. It has been shown that for cutting tissue of the Spectral range between 8 and 15 / µm and for coagulating the spectral range between 0.4 and 3 µm is particularly suitable. Since both spectral ranges are not visible, a pilot light source, which is also known from surgical laser devices, is provided (e.g., L. Wolbarsht, Laser Applications in Medicine and Biology, Vol. 2, 1974, Plenum Press, New York), which shows the beam path of the laser light.

Durch die nach Anspruch 3 vorgesehene Strahlenführung des koagulierenden und des schneidenden Laserlichtes werden die Wundränder des Schnittes sicher und lückenlos koaguliert. Des weiteren ermöglicht diese Strahlenführung die Verwendung eines einfachen Lochspiegels zur Kopplung der aus beiden Lasergeräten austretenden Strahlen anstelle eines sonst notwendigen dielektrischen Spiegels.Due to the beam guidance of the coagulating, provided according to claim 3 and the cutting laser light, the wound edges of the cut become safe and completely coagulated. Furthermore, this beam guidance enables the use a simple perforated mirror for coupling the emerging from both laser devices Rays instead of an otherwise necessary dielectric mirror.

Bei der nach Anspruch 4 vorgesehenen Einrichtung können mit zwei Pilotlichtquellen die drei unterschiedlichen Arbeitsweisen der Einrichtung - Schneiden, Koagulieren, Schneiden + Koagulieren - angezeigt werden. Beim Betrieb nur eines der Laser leuchtet der auf dem Gewebe entstehende Lichtfleck in der jeweiligen Farbe des zugehörigen Pilotlichtes, beim gleichzeitigen Betrieb beider Laser leichtet der Lichtfleck in der Mischfarbe der beiden Pilotlichter. Die drei Betriebsarten der Einrichtung können somit eindeutig und unmißverständlich angezeigt werden.In the device provided according to claim 4, two pilot light sources can be used the three different working methods of the facility - cutting, coagulating, Cutting + Coagulating - are displayed. When operating only one of the lasers lights up the light spot created on the fabric in the respective color of the associated Pilot light, when both lasers are operated at the same time, the light spot illuminates in the mixed color of the two pilot lights. The three modes of operation of the facility can thus clearly and unmistakably displayed.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand einer schematischen Darstellung näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated below with the aid of a schematic representation explained in more detail.

Die dargestellte Einrichtung besteht aus einer Lasereinheit 1, an welche ein Manipulator 2 angeschlossen ist. Die Lasereinheit 1 weist zwei Lasersysteme 3 und 4 auf, welche jeweils mit einer Pilotlichtquelle kombiniert sind. Das Lasersystem 3 besteht aus einem Nd-YAG-Laser mit einer Wellenlänge A= 1,06 /um zur Koagulation von Gewebe und einem rotstrahlenden He-Ne-Laser als Pilotlichtquelle. Im Lasersystem 4 sind ein C02-Laser der Wellenlänge A= 10,6 /um zum Schneiden mit einem grünstrahlenden He-Cd-Laser als Pilotlichtquelle kombiniert. Das Licht des Lasersystems 3 wird über einen voll reflektierenden Spiegel 5 und einen dielektrischen Spiegel 6, welcher in den Wellenlängen des C02 und des He-Cd-Lasers durchsichtig ist in den Strahlengang des Lasersystems 4 eingekoppelt. Das Licht der Lasereinheit wird in den als Gelenklichtleiter ausgebildeten Manipulator eingekoppelt und dort über voll reflektierende Spiegel 7 weitergeleitet. Der letzte Spiegel des Gelenklichtleiters ist leicht gekrümmt und dient zur Fokussierung des aus dem Manipulator austretenden Lichtes. über nicht dargestellte Fuß- oder Handschalter können die Lasersysteme 3 und 4 wechselweise oder zusammen betrieben werden.The device shown consists of a laser unit 1, an which a manipulator 2 is connected. The laser unit 1 has two laser systems 3 and 4, which are each combined with a pilot light source. The laser system 3 consists of a Nd-YAG laser with a wavelength A = 1.06 / µm for coagulation of tissue and a red He-Ne laser as a pilot light source. In the laser system 4 are a CO2 laser with a wavelength of A = 10.6 / µm for cutting with a green emitting laser He-Cd laser combined as a pilot light source. The light from the laser system 3 is over a fully reflecting mirror 5 and a dielectric mirror 6, which in the wavelengths of the C02 and the He-Cd laser is transparent in the beam path of the laser system 4 is coupled. The light from the laser unit is used as an articulated light guide trained manipulator coupled and there via fully reflective mirror 7 forwarded. The last mirror of the articulated light guide is slightly curved and serves to focus the light emerging from the manipulator. about not The foot or hand switches shown can be used alternately by the laser systems 3 and 4 or operated together.
