Definitions

  • This invention relates to a trochar system or insufflation needle for laparoscopy and more particularly to one which is inexpensive to manufacture and which is constructed, in one form of the invention, to minimize accidental dislodge ent after placement in the patient.
  • the Veress Needle was originally designed for insertion into the chest to collapse a lung in treatment of tuberculosis. Later, when laparoscopy was first introduced to allow surgeons to look into the peritoneal cavity, the needle found new usage in filling the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide.
  • the Veress Needle comprises an outer cannula which has a needle point for easy penetration of the skin and underlying structures in the abdominal wall.
  • the outer cannula expands into a relatively long needle hub which is used to house a spring mechanism for retraction of an inner cannula.
  • This inner cannula includes a hollow tube having an enclosed end which is rounded to help avoid injury of the intra-abdominal structures.
  • the inner cannula is fully retracted within the inner cannula to allow easy penetration all the way through the abdominal wall.
  • the inner, rounded tip snaps forwardly into the space of the abdominal cavity and pushes underlying movable structures out of the way, such as large or small bowel or intestine, omentum or liver.
  • the gas is then delivered to the abdominal cavity via a gas delivery system which is connected to the upper hub or valve section of the
  • Veress Needle by a long plastic delivery tube This gas creates a space or work area within the abdomen whereby good visualization is provided through a separate laparoscope. Any definitive surgical procedures, such as tubal ligations must generally be done through a separate opening, unless an operative laparoscope is utilized.
  • the Veress Needle has been a very useful instrument for about fifty years, it has certain drawbacks. It is a complex design and therefore expensive to manufacture. Because of its construction and small parts, the parts can be lost during cleaning and it is virtually impossible to clean the side hole adjacent the blunt tip of the inner cannula, resulting in small pieces of tissue and tissue fluid being transferred from one patient to the next. Also, after repeated use, the point becomes dull. Furthermore, the needle can be dislodged if left in place during an entire operative procedure and must be reinserted. Also, because of the rigid construction, the sharp end may be driven into the abdomen and cause damage to intra-abdo inal contents such as the bowel, liver or major blood vessels if accidentally bumped by the surgeon. Furthermore, the Veress Needle can only be used for gas delivery and is not usable for a port hole for introduction of a laparoscope, operating instruments, cautery devices, laser fiber or other devices. If these devices are used they must be
  • SUBSTITUTESHEET introduced through an additional trochar which creates an additional incision in the patient.
  • a disposable trochar which has a removable rod and needle portion within an outer sheath.
  • the rod has a blunt end and is retractable during insertion so that the needle edge cuts through the abdominal wall. Once passing through the wall the rod extends so as to protect the bowel from the sharp needle.
  • a gas port is provided for introducing gas through the rod and out a side passageway near the blunt end. After the abdomen is extended, the rod and needle can be removed as a unit from the sheath and thrown away and a suitable instrument introduced through an instrument port having a separate diaphragm.
  • U.S. Patent No. 1,527,291 to Zorraquin shows a surgical needle which has a spring urged blunt rod within it to permit exploration of internal body cavities without perforating the wall of the cavity being explored.
  • U.S. Patent No. 2,630,803 to Baren shows a pneumothoracic needle with spring-loaded inner blunt needle and an outer sharp cannula.
  • UTESHEET needle is hollow and is removable without extracting the cannula from the chest wall.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,840,008 to Noiles discloses a hypodermic needle for safely injecting fluid into nerve and vessel crowded areas of a patient.
  • the needle has a pointed hollow piercing member slidably mounted about a fluid delivery tube.
  • the delivery tube has a blunt nose with at least one fluid opening near its blunt end, the other end being connected to a conventional syringe.
  • the hollow piercing member is connected to the delivery tube by a finger-operated collapsible bar.
  • the bar is provided with a centrally located groove to facilitate collapse at the moment the operator removes the force of his finger, the blunt nose delivery tube is then free to penetrate the tissue of the patient without endangering nerve or vessel.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,982,533 to Wiest discloses a device for introducing limited quantities of carbon dioxide into the human body for operational purposes, particularly laparoscopy. It includes a control device for delivering the carbon dioxide, a connecting nipple on the control device for connecting a flexible tubing to a Veress Needle introduceable into the body and a pressure gage for indicating the pressure present in the body cavity. A second connection nipple is provided on the control device and connected by a nipple to the pressure gage.
  • the second connection nipple is connected by a further flexible tubing either to a dual Veress Needle or to a second single Veress Needle, so that the pressure gage is directly connected with the body cavity rather than through the operative Veress Needle.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,096,860 to McLaughlin discloses an encatheter incorporating a plastic insertion conduit placed into a blood vessel with a needle.
  • the structure includes an elastomeric sealing flapper or one-way valve that allows insertion of a syringe needle.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,535,773 to Yoon shows a safety puncturing instrument and method using a shielding mechanism that is biased to protrude from the distal end of the instrument to shield its sharp, penetrating point after the point has penetrated.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,769,018 to Wilson discloses a surgical cannula assembly for receiving and guiding a surgical instrument which has an instrument portion insertable through the cannula assembly and includes two selectively interconnectable and separate cannula sub-assemblies.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,808,168 to Waring discloses a single-use Veress-type pneumoneedle that has a flanged handle and a fixed valve sub-assembly that permits the pneumoneedle to be gripped like a syringe when it is being inserted.
  • the stylet body is either a solid rod or a hollow tube. Insufflating gas is carried into the abdominal cavity through the lumen of the needle when the stylet is a solid rod or through the stylet lumen when the stylet is a hollow tube.
  • French Patent No. 2,308,346 to Storz discloses a probe for insertion of surgical instruments or insufflation tubes in the cavities of a body. It has a probe sleeve in which the instrument or tube is

  • a generally disposable trochar for use as a gas insufflation needle for insertion through the abdominal wall of a patient and into a body cavity. It has an outer sheath with a tubular body, a distal open end and a proximate open end.
  • the distal end optionally may have means which is expandable after the trochar has been inserted into the body cavity to minimize dislocation of the outer sheath during use.
  • This optional feature generally will be used in larger diameter devices and omitted in smaller diameter devices.

Abstract

Trocart jetable (T) utilisé comme aiguille d'insufflation de gaz et destiné à être inséré dans la paroi abdominale d'un patient et dans une cavité du corps. Ledit trocart a une gaine extérieure (S) et un corps tubulaire, une extrémité ouverte distale et une extrémité ouverte proximale. L'extrémité distale peut être pourvue d'un moyen (46) qui peut s'agrandir une fois que le trocart a été inséré dans la cavité du corps afin de minimiser le déplacement de la gaine extérieure pendant l'utilisation. Une canule (10) peut venir se loger de façon amovible à l'intérieur de la gaine. Cette canule a une extrémité distale pointue (14) qui peut dépasser à l'extrémité distale de la gaine, et une tête (12) élargie, à son extrémité proximale. Ladite tête a une partie plate (45) qui peut peut venir en contact avec l'extrémité proximale de la gaine pour limiter le dépassement de l'extrémité distale de la canule au-delà de l'extrémité distale de la gaine. Une tige (16) est montée à l'intérieur de la canule et s'y déplace longitudinalement entre une position rétractée et une position sortie. Un élément (29) à bout rond situé à l'extrémité distale de la tige dépasse de l'extrémité distale pointue de la canule lorsqu'il est dans sa position sortie. Un ressort (20) se trouvant dans une cavité de la tête est fixé à l'extrémité proximale de la tige et pousse celle-ci dans sa direction de sortie. L'invention concerne également un procédé d'utilisation de ce trocart.
