Further, the front end of the opticalfiber guide tube 1 is provided with a light path adjusting component, the light path adjusting component is arranged on the front end side wall of the straight tube portion of the opticalfiber guide tube 1, and when the front end of the medicaloptical fiber 100 is located in the straight tube portion, the light path adjusting component can change the light path of laser emitted by the medicaloptical fiber 100 located in the opticalfiber guide tube 1 so as to ablate thetarget focus area 300.
The light path adjusting component comprises areflective membrane 13 and alens structure 14, wherein thereflective membrane 13 is used for guiding the light rays emitted by the medicaloptical fiber 100 to the direction of thetarget lesion area 300 so as to realize unidirectional emission; thereflective membrane 13 and thelens structure 14 cooperate to accommodate tumors of more diverse shapes.
Thelens structure 14 may vary the size and/or shape of the ablation volume. Due to the addition of thelens structure 14, the ablation region which is originally in a circular ring shape is converted into an ablation region with a specific shape (as shown in fig. 22 and 26), so that the lens structure can be adapted to more irregular tumors.
Thelens structure 14 is located on thefiber guide tube 1. understandably, thelens structure 14 can be provided on the inner wall of thefiber guide tube 1 as a separate component, for example, thelens structure 14 is adhered to the inner wall of thefiber guide tube 1, or can be a part of thefiber guide tube 1.
In this embodiment, in order to reduce the volume of the sheath structure, thelens structure 14 and the opticalfiber guiding tube 1 are an integral structure. Of course, thelens structure 14 can also be made on the side wall of the opticalfiber guiding tube 1, and thelens structure 14 is embedded in the groove provided on the side wall of the opticalfiber guiding tube 1.
Thelens structure 14 may be a condenser, preferably a convex lens, or a diverging mirror, preferably a concave lens.
When thelens structure 14 is a convex lens, the laser emitted by the medicaloptical fiber 100 is circumferentially dispersed and changed into parallel light to be emitted after passing through the convex lens, so that the ablation of thetarget lesion area 300 of the position where thelens structure 14 is located can be locally protruded and/or deepened.
When thelens structure 14 is a concave lens, the laser emitted by the medicaloptical fiber 100 is circumferentially dispersed and becomes more dispersed after passing through the concave lens, so that the coverage of the light emitted from the position of thelens structure 14 is enlarged, and the ablation effect is enhanced.
In the sheath structure provided by this embodiment, thelens structure 14 is disposed on the opticalfiber guiding tube 1, and when the medicaloptical fiber 100 is used in an ablation operation, the path of the laser emitted from the medicaloptical fiber 100 is changed by thelens structure 14 disposed on the opticalfiber guiding tube 1, so that ablation of tumors with irregular shapes becomes more flexible and easier to operate.
Thereflective film 13 and thelens structure 14 are disposed opposite to each other and located on two sides of the medicaloptical fiber 100. As shown in fig. 19 to 22, thelens structure 14 is a convex lens, the laser light emitted from the circumferential direction of the medicaloptical fiber 100 is focused after being parallel and returned to the convex lens when encountering thereflective film 13, and the medicaloptical fiber 100 directly transmits the parallel light beam formed by the convex lens, so that ablation on a certain region of thetarget lesion area 300 can be enhanced.
As shown in fig. 23-26, thelens structure 14 is a concave lens, and the laser emitted from the medicaloptical fiber 100 in the circumferential direction is parallel and returns to the concave lens after encountering thereflective film 13, and is refracted by the concave lens and then emitted at a larger refraction angle, and the medicaloptical fiber 100 directly penetrates through the light beam refracted by the concave lens, so that the ablation of thetarget lesion area 300 in a specific range can be enhanced.
Understandably, in this embodiment, different light emitting ranges can also be obtained by changing the radial coverage area of thereflective film 13 along the opticalfiber guide tube 1 and/or changing the structure of the arc-shaped surface where thereflective film 13 is disposed, which is not described herein again.
Compared withembodiments 1 to 4, the optical path adjusting component is provided at the front end of the opticalfiber guide tube 1, so that the type of the medicaloptical fiber 100 can be enlarged. In thisembodiment 4, the medicaloptical fiber 100 may be any one of a side-emitting optical fiber, a dispersion optical fiber, or a ring optical fiber.
Example 5
The invention also discloses a medical optical fiber guiding method, which adopts the medical optical fiber guiding structure and comprises the following steps:
step 1: theskull nail 4 is fixed on the planned path according to the operation plan and keeps a fixed state with theskull 200.
Step 2: the medicaloptical fiber 100 is inserted into the opticalfiber guide tube 1, and the front end of the medicaloptical fiber 100 does not exceed the bendingpart 11 of the opticalfiber guide tube 1. One end of theguide tube base 2 is connected with the opticalfiber guide tube 1, and the other end is provided with the sealingplug 5 and the fixingcover 3 in a screwing mode.
The medicaloptical fiber 100 is kept in a straight state so that no other substance enters the opticalfiber guide tube 1 to cause subsequent blockage when the opticalfiber guide tube 1 is inserted into the brain. The medicaloptical fiber 100 can also realize laser ablation in thestraight tube portion 12, that is, the front end of the medicaloptical fiber 100 is located in thestraight tube portion 12 and does not enter thebent portion 11 or extend out of thebent portion 11.
Understandably, the medicaloptical fiber 100 may also be afterloaded.
And step 3: according to the operation plan, the opticalfiber guide tube 1 is inserted into a designated position through theskull nail 4, an area needing to be avoided is avoided, corresponding scale marks are arranged on the opticalfiber guide tube 1, and the insertion depth can be visually confirmed.
At this time, the fixingcover 3 is unscrewed to enable the medicaloptical fiber 100 and the opticalfiber guide tube 1 to be capable of moving in a single axial direction, thrust is applied to the medicaloptical fiber 100 through the outside, the medicaloptical fiber 100 can be slowly moved inwards continuously, and due to the bending structure of the front end of the opticalfiber guide tube 1, the medicaloptical fiber 100 can be bent along with the bending surface. The curved surface is preferably smooth, since otherwise a jamming situation may occur. The medicaloptical fiber 100 passing through the bendingportion 11 is straightened due to the influence of its own characteristics, and at this time, the light-emitting portion at the front end of the medicaloptical fiber 100 reaches thetarget lesion area 300, and skillfully avoids the area with theobstacle 400, and the fixingcover 3 is screwed, so that the ablation treatment can be further completed.
And 4, step 4: unscrewing the fixingcover 3 to pull the medicaloptical fiber 100 backwards so that the front end of the medicaloptical fiber 100 does not exceed the bendingpart 11, unscrewing thesheath locking screw 6, rotating theguide tube base 2 to adjust the orientation of the arc-shapedincision 111, and screwing thesheath locking screw 6, wherein the bending position of the outlet of the opticalfiber guide tube 1 is changed, so that the medicaloptical fiber 100 extends out of the opticalfiber guide tube 1, and the second region can be ablated. The ablation area can be expanded not only in the axial direction in which the medicaloptical fiber 100 protrudes but also in the radial direction of theguide tube 1.
According to the invention, the self-bending deformation of the medical optical fiber is realized through the optical fiber guide tube, and an important area which is not suitable for puncture can be avoided; by adjusting the direction of the optical fiber guide tube, the range of an ablation area can be further expanded, ablation which can be completed only by opening two channels originally is realized, and the efficiency is improved; matching with different medical optical fibers, the utility model can more conveniently match with the focuses of different shapes to complete conformal ablation.
It should be noted that the front end of the existing ablation catheter (i.e. the end contacting with the focal tissue for ablation) is closed and is only a linear ablation channel, and the medical optical fiber can only move within the axial range of the ablation catheter, so that the ablation range of the focal tissue is limited to a limited area around the ablation catheter. In the medical optical fiber guide structure provided by the invention, the front end of the opticalfiber guide tube 1 is a bendingpart 11 with a lateral opening (namely, the arc-shaped incision 111), and the medicaloptical fiber 100 can be guided and bent by penetrating out of the lateral opening of the bendingpart 11. This feature expands the range of motion of the medicaloptical fiber 100, which can move both in the axial direction and in the radial direction, and thus can ablate large focal tissues in a single channel. Meanwhile, under the condition that the tumor microenvironment is not ideal, for example, the tumor is positioned in the deep part of the brain, and a plurality of important tissues, blood vessels and the like are arranged around the tumor, the medical optical fiber guide structure also increases the flexibility and the diversity of the selection of the path scheme avoiding the important tissues.
