Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is related to a technical field of surgical medical apparatuses and instruments, especially to an auxiliary operation structure for an endoscope.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the advancement of medical instruments and technologies, an endoscope, such as a gastroscopy and a colonoscopy, not only can be used as an invasive examination instrument, but it also can be used for a minimally invasive surgery. For example, if the tumor invasion depth does not exceed a submucosa and there is no lymphatic metastasis, the endoscope can be used for local excision, and thus avoid the pain resulted from traditional surgical treatment.



FIG. 1A shows a perspective view of a conventional endoscope, and FIG. 1B shows another perspective view of the conventional endoscope. In more detail, the endoscope 1′ shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B is a gastroscopy, and its structure includes an operation module 11′, a cable set 12′, and a pipe 13′. The cable set 12′ is connected between the operation module 11′ and a host (not shown). In addition, the pipe 13′ has one end connected with the operation module 11′, and has another end provided with a lighting unit and a camera unit. According to the conventional common design, the operation module 11′ of the endoscope 1′ is provided with a plurality of control units, including an image fixing button F1′, a first function button F2′, a second function button F3′, a third function button F4′, an attraction-activating button F5′, a fluid delivery button F6′, an instrument insertion channel F7′, a first fixing knob F8′, a first angle adjustment dial F9′, a second fixing knob F10′, and a second angle adjustment dial F11′.


When using the endoscope 1′, a physician will hold the operating module 11′ with one hand (for example, his right hand), and use the other hand (for example, his left hand) as a transmission mechanism for the pipe 13′. Briefly, the physician uses his left hand to insert the pipe 13′ into a patient's body, and then uses the lighting unit and the camera unit at the front end of the pipe 13′ to capture an image of a site to be examined or operated on in the patient's body. Specifically, when the pipe 13′ is placed in the patient's body, the physician must operate the plurality of control units on the operating module 11′. For example, when the physician turns the first angle adjustment dial F9′ to move the front end of the pipe 13′ leftward/rightward. On the other hand, when the physician turns the second angle adjustment dial F11′ to move the front end of the pipe 13′ upward/downward. Further, after the front end of the pipe 13′ is gradually fed and moved to the site to undergo a surgical operation, the physician can then insert a surgical instrument into the site undergoing a surgical operation through the instrument insertion channel F7′, and then use the surgical instrument to perform a minimally invasive surgical treatment on the site undergoing a surgical operation.


It can be understood from above description that when the physician operates the endoscope 1′ shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, his right hand must continuously hold and control the operation module 11′ of the endoscope 1 ‘ until the front end of the pipe 13’ is gradually fed to a target site in the patient's body (for example, the site undergoing a surgical operation on or the site to be examined). In the case that when the operation module 11′ is held for a long period of time, the physician will inevitably has a sore wrist and/or arm, and in severe cases, the physician's wrist and/or arm would be injured.


As can be understood from above description, there is a need to design a set of auxiliary mechanism to be combined with the endoscope 1′ as shown in FIG. 1, and the physician can use the endoscope 1′ to complete an invasive examination or a minimally invasive surgery by operating the set of auxiliary mechanism instead of using hands to hold the operating module 11′ and the pipe 13′. In view of this, the inventor of the present invention has made great efforts to research, and finally has developed and completed an auxiliary operation structure for an endoscope of the present invention.

Then, the physician can easily control the endoscope 2 by using his hands to operate the controller 15 placed on the control table without causing any burden or injury to the physician's wrist or arm.


Furthermore, the physician can control the controller 15, so as to have the pipe 23 passing through the clamping module 12 fed by the clamping module 12 to advance toward a target, such as a site in the body of a patient to be examined or a site in the body of the patient undergoing a surgical operation. Then, the physician can use the lighting unit and the camera unit provided at the front end of the pipe 23 to capture an image of the site to be examined or undergoing a surgical operation, and the relevant image will be displayed on the display screen 31 in real time under the control of the host 32. Finally, after the clamping module 12 gradually feeds the front end of the pipe 23 to the site undergoing a surgical operation, the physician can thus move a surgical instrument to the site undergoing a surgical operation through an instrument insertion channel F7, and then use the surgical instrument to perform a minimally invasive surgical treatment on the site undergoing a surgical operation.
