腹腔镜手术钳夹持组织过程中安全性研究

Security research of laparoscopic graspers during tissue clamping operation

腹腔镜手术钳夹持组织操作过程中,过大的夹持力会造成组织损伤,引发各种术后并发症。本文应用活体兔大肠作为组织模型,利用试验研究、有限元模拟和病理性分析相结合的方法,对不同齿形和边缘倒角的手术钳钳头的夹持操作进行了安全性定量评估。结果表明,组织中产生的应力集中和组织中损伤最严重的部位均出现在与钳头边缘接触的区域;增加钳头边缘倒角曲率半径和齿形弧度,均可以减轻夹持时造成的组织损伤。试验结果可为无创手术钳的设计和选型提供基础数据。

The large force applied by laparoscopic grasper during clamping operation can cause tissue damage and induce various complications. In this research, the security of graspers with different radii of curvature and teeth were evaluated by using experimental investigation, finite element simulation and tissue damage assessment method based on in vivo compression tests with rabbit large intestines models. Results showed that the most serious tissue damages appeared in areas that were in contact with the jaw edges, which were the regions of stress concentration. The increase in radii of curvature of the edges or teeth could alleviate the tissue damages. The results could provide basic data for choosing and designing noninvasive graspers.
