Description

Translated fromJapanese

本発明は、手術室にいる術者が遠隔地にいる支援者の指示を受けて手術を行える手術支援システムに関する。  The present invention relates to a surgical operation support system in which an operator in an operating room can perform an operation in response to an instruction from a remote supporter.

従来より、光学式内視鏡の接眼部に撮像手段を備えたテレビカメラを装着したテレビカメラ外付け内視鏡や、先端部に撮像手段を内蔵した電子内視鏡により、内視鏡でとらえた内視鏡画像をモニターに表示し、その画像を見ながら観察・処置を行える内視鏡装置が広く用いられている。  Conventionally, an endoscope with a TV camera externally attached with a TV camera equipped with an image pickup means at the eyepiece of an optical endoscope or an electronic endoscope with an image pickup means built in at the tip is used in an endoscope. 2. Description of the Related Art Endoscope devices that can display a captured endoscopic image on a monitor and perform observation and treatment while viewing the image are widely used.

この種の内視鏡装置では、内視鏡に照明光を供給する光源装置や内視鏡画像を表示するための画像信号処理回路を備えたカメラコントロールユニット(ビデオプロセッサともいう)や内視鏡画像を表示するTVモニターの他に、複数の周辺装置として例えば、気腹装置や高周波焼灼装置等を用いて、内視鏡観察下において処置或いは手術を行える内視鏡システムが構築され、実用化されている。  In this type of endoscope apparatus, a camera control unit (also referred to as a video processor) or an endoscope provided with a light source device that supplies illumination light to the endoscope and an image signal processing circuit for displaying an endoscope image. In addition to a TV monitor that displays images, an endoscopic system that can perform treatment or surgery under endoscopic observation is constructed and put into practical use using, for example, a pneumothorax device or a high-frequency ablation device as a plurality of peripheral devices. Has been.

この内視鏡システムにおいては、通常、これら複数の周辺装置を制御部としてのシステムコントローラに接続して集中制御するようになっている。  In this endoscope system, these peripheral devices are usually connected to a system controller as a control unit for centralized control.

このような内視鏡システムにおいては、経験の少ない医師であっても、モニターに表示されている内視鏡画像を、経験豊富な医師に観察してもらい、指示を受けることによって確実に手術を行うことができる。このとき、モニターに表示させる術野の内視鏡画像が重要であり、万一表示されている内視鏡画像が経験豊富な医師の所望する術野を示す内視鏡画像と異なっているときには、手術者に口頭又は直接的に指示して共同でスムーズに手術を行えた。  In such an endoscopic system, even an inexperienced doctor can have an experienced doctor observe the endoscopic image displayed on the monitor and receive instructions to ensure surgery. It can be carried out. At this time, the endoscopic image of the operative field displayed on the monitor is important, and when the displayed endoscopic image is different from the endoscopic image indicating the operative field desired by an experienced doctor Surgery was performed smoothly or jointly by verbally or direct instruction to the surgeon.

このため、指示を行う経験豊かな医師が例えば遠隔地にいる場合等のために、遠隔地にいる支援者である医師のいる病院などと、手術を担当する医師のいる手術室とを公衆回線で接続し、手術中に遠隔地にいる医師の指示等を受けながら手術室の医師が患者に対して適切な手術を行えるように支援するシステムが考えられている。  For this reason, when an experienced doctor who gives instructions is in a remote location, for example, a hospital with a doctor who is a remote supporter and an operating room with a doctor in charge of the operation are connected to the public line. A system that supports a doctor in an operating room to perform an appropriate operation on a patient while receiving instructions from a doctor at a remote place during the operation is considered.

そして、このように遠隔的に手術を支援する遠隔手術支援システムとして本出願人は特開2000−271147号公報によって遠隔手術支援システムを提案している。  As a remote operation support system for remotely supporting the operation as described above, the present applicant has proposed a remote operation support system according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-271147.

この提案による遠隔手術支援システムでは、通信回線を利用して遠隔地にいる医師が内視鏡画像を観察できるばかりではなく、モニターに表示されている内視鏡画像を手元操作によって所望の状態に変更して、手術者にいる術者に適切な指示を行えるようにしている。  In the remote surgery support system based on this proposal, not only can a doctor at a remote location observe an endoscopic image using a communication line, but also the endoscopic image displayed on a monitor is brought into a desired state by hand operation. It has been changed so that appropriate instructions can be given to the surgeon.

また、本出願人は、より手術を安全に且つ確実に行う手術システムとして、例えば特開2001−170008号公報に記載されている手術システムを提案している。  Further, the present applicant has proposed a surgical system described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-170008 as a surgical system that performs surgery more safely and reliably.

一般に、上記内視鏡システムを用いて外科手術を行う際には、麻酔医が管理する装置(麻酔器、呼吸器、患者モニター装置等)の表示は、麻酔医が監視しており、これらのバイタルサインの表示値に異常があった場合には、麻酔医が判断して必要があれば術者である外科医に伝え、処置が行われていた。一方、外科医が管理する手術装置(気腹装置、電気メス等)の表示は、外科医、もしくは看護師が監視し、麻酔医に伝えて処置が行われていた。  In general, when performing surgery using the above endoscope system, the anesthesiologist monitors the display of devices (anesthesia machine, respiratory device, patient monitor device, etc.) managed by the anesthesiologist. When there was an abnormality in the displayed value of the vital sign, the anesthesiologist judged and told the surgeon who was the surgeon if necessary, and was treated. On the other hand, the display of surgical devices (pneumoconiosis device, electrosurgical knife, etc.) managed by the surgeon is monitored by the surgeon or nurse and transmitted to the anesthesiologist for treatment.

このように、各種の装置の管理及び監視を複数の医師が分担して行う場合には、いずれかの装置の表示から異常を見落としたり、あるいは麻酔医と外科医との間の伝達が滑らかに行われない場合には、処置が遅れてしまう。  As described above, when a plurality of doctors share the management and monitoring of various devices, an abnormality is overlooked from the display of one of the devices, or the communication between the anesthesiologist and the surgeon is performed smoothly. If not, the treatment will be delayed.

そこで、このような要求に鑑み、前記特開2001−170008号公報の提案による手術システムでは、麻酔医が管理する装置と、外科医等が監視する装置とのそれぞれの各種情報を集中表示モニターに表示させることで、麻酔医と外科医とのいずれも必要なときに相手側の情報を確認できるために、例えば患者の終末呼気炭酸該分圧等の患者の生体情報を知らせるパラメータに異常が生じた場合に、迅速且つ確実に確認することができるようにしている。
特開2000−271147号公報特開2001−170008号公報
In view of such demands, the surgical system proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-170008 displays various types of information on an apparatus managed by an anesthesiologist and an apparatus monitored by a surgeon on a centralized display monitor. If both the anesthesiologist and the surgeon can check the other party's information when necessary, for example, if there is an abnormality in the parameter that informs the patient's biological information such as the patient's end exhalation carbonic acid partial pressure In addition, it is possible to confirm quickly and reliably.
JP 2000-271147 A JP 2001-170008 A

ところで、前記特開2000−271147号公報に示されているような遠隔手術支援システムにおいては、手術室側にて手術を行っているため、より手術を安全に且つ確実を行うためには、手術側の手術システムとして、前記特開2001−170008号公報に記載されているような手術システムを設けて構築することが望ましい。  By the way, in the remote operation support system as shown in the Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-271147, since the operation is performed on the operating room side, in order to perform the operation safely and surely, the operation is performed. It is desirable to provide and construct a surgical system as described in JP-A-2001-170008 as the side surgical system.

しかしながら、手術室側に上記手術システムを設けて遠隔手術支援システムを構築したとしても、手術中に、麻酔医が管理する装置と外科医あるいは看護師が監視する装置との各機器の設定状態が適正な状態からずれてしまう場合には、手術室側の麻酔医と外科医や看護師によってその状態を迅速且つ確実に確認させることができるが、より安全に且つ確実に手術を行うためには、遠隔地の支援室にいる医師によってその生じた異常状態を手技等の支援と共に、手術者側に迅速に知らしめて、常に各機器の設定状態が適正な状態に維持することが要求される。  However, even if a remote operation support system is constructed by installing the above operation system on the operating room side, the setting state of each device between the device managed by the anesthesiologist and the device monitored by the surgeon or nurse is appropriate during the operation. If the situation deviates from the normal state, the state can be confirmed quickly and reliably by an anesthesiologist, surgeon or nurse on the operating room side. A doctor in the local support room is required to promptly inform the surgeon of the abnormal state that has occurred, along with support for procedures and the like, so that the set state of each device is always maintained in an appropriate state.

そこで、本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、手術中に手術室の各機器の設定を常に適正な状態に維持して、適切な手術支援を行うことができる手術支援システムを提供することを目的とする。  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a surgical support system capable of performing appropriate surgical support by always maintaining the settings of each device in the operating room during surgery.

It is transmitted to the endoscope system 2 in the operating room.

なお、本実施例では、前記手術室の内視鏡システム2と同様に、遠隔制御システム3において、前記入力部13としてマイクを設け、このマイクを用いて支援者の発生した音声を内視鏡画像やキーボードにより入力された文字などのコメントと共に支援情報として前記送受信部10を介して手術室内の術者に送信できるようになっている。  In this embodiment, similarly to the endoscope system 2 in the operating room, theremote control system 3 is provided with a microphone as theinput unit 13, and the voice generated by the supporter using the microphone is endoscopeed. It can be transmitted to the surgeon in the operating room via the transmission /reception unit 10 as support information together with comments such as images and characters input from the keyboard.

図2に支援室側によって監視する機器設定情報の表示画面の一例が示されている。  FIG. 2 shows an example of a display screen of device setting information monitored by the support room side.

例えば手術室の内視鏡システム2内に設けられた周辺機器として、電気メス、気腹装置、超音波手術具などの機器である場合、支援室の遠隔制御システム3において、制御部11は、図2に示すように、外科医側の各種機器の設定情報12bを示す外科医側の情報12Bと、麻酔医側の患者の生体情報12cを示す麻酔側の情報12Cとを有する画面12Aを、モニター12に表示させる。  For example, when the peripheral device provided in the endoscope system 2 in the operating room is a device such as an electric scalpel, a pneumoperitoneum, or an ultrasonic surgical instrument, in theremote control system 3 in the support room, thecontrol unit 11 As shown in FIG. 2, ascreen12A having information 12B on the surgeon side indicating setting information 12b on various devices on the surgeon side andinformation 12C on the anesthesia side indicatingbiological information 12c of the patient on the anesthesiologist side is displayed on themonitor 12 To display.

上記画面12Aにおいて、外科医側の情報12bとしては、“レーザー出力”、“電気メス出力(CUTモード、COAGモード)”、“超音波出力(CUTモード、COAGモード)”等の設定情報であり,それぞの数値が表示される。また、麻酔医側の生体情報12cとしては、“終末呼気炭酸ガス分圧(PetCO2 )”、“血圧”、“血中酸素飽和度”、“心拍数”、“動脈圧”、“気腹圧”等の患者情報であり、それぞれの数値が表示される。  In thescreen 12A, the surgeon side information 12b includes setting information such as “laser output”, “electric knife output (CUT mode, COAG mode)”, “ultrasonic output (CUT mode, COAG mode)”, etc. Each value is displayed. Thebiometric information 12c on the anesthesiologist's side includes "end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2)", "blood pressure", "blood oxygen saturation", "heart rate", "arterial pressure", "pneumoabdominal pressure" Patient information such as “”, and each numerical value is displayed.

したがって、このようなモニター表示された画面12Aを見ながら支援者は、手術室で手術が行われている際の各種機器の設定状態や患者の生体情報を認識することができる。  Accordingly, the supporter can recognize the setting state of various devices and the patient's biological information when the operation is performed in the operating room while viewing thescreen 12A displayed on the monitor.

また、上記画面12Aをモニター表示させ、この画面12Aを用いて、上述した各種機器の設定状態を判断するのに必要な閾値等を予め入力設定することもある。  Further, thescreen 12A may be displayed on a monitor, and a threshold value or the like necessary for determining the setting state of various devices described above may be input and set in advance using thescreen 12A.

次に、本実施例の特徴となる作用を、図3及び図4を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
(Function)
Next, the operation which is a feature of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

いま、本実施例の手術支援システム1を用いて手術室の外科手術に行う術者に対し、支援室の支援者による支援を行うものとする。  Now, it is assumed that the supporter in the support room provides support to an operator who performs surgery in the operating room using thesurgery support system 1 of the present embodiment.

このとき、手術室の内視鏡システム2と支援室の遠隔制御システム3とが電源投入されており、予めそれそれの各種機器の設定値が設定されているものとすると、手術室の内視鏡システム2の制御部5は、術中の内視鏡画像をモニター表示するとともに、送受信部7を制御して内視鏡画像や機器設定情報等の手術室側の情報を通信回線16を介して支援室の遠隔制御システム3へと送信させる。  At this time, if the endoscope system 2 in the operating room and theremote control system 3 in the support room are turned on, and set values of various devices are set in advance, Thecontrol unit 5 of the mirror system 2 displays the endoscopic image during the operation on the monitor and controls the transmission /reception unit 7 to transmit information on the operating room side such as an endoscopic image and device setting information via thecommunication line 16. It is transmitted to theremote control system 3 in the support room.

一方、支援室の遠隔制御システム3では、制御部11は、例えば図4に示す処理ルーチンを起動させる。すなわち、制御部11は、ステップS1の処理にて、前記手術室の内視鏡システム2から送信された内視鏡画像及び各種機器の設定情報を送受信部10にて受信させる。  On the other hand, in theremote control system 3 in the support room, thecontrol unit 11 activates, for example, a processing routine shown in FIG. That is, thecontrol unit 11 causes the transmission /reception unit 10 to receive the endoscope image and the setting information of various devices transmitted from the endoscope system 2 in the operating room in the process of step S1.

そして、制御部11は、続くステップS2の判断処理にて、前記比較部14を用いて受信した設定情報が適正な範囲にあるか否か、すなわち、予め設定した閾値よりも設定情報が小さいか否かを比較させ、その比較結果から設定情報が適正な範囲内に有るか否かを判断する。  Then, thecontrol unit 11 determines whether or not the setting information received using thecomparison unit 14 is within an appropriate range in the determination process of step S2, that is, whether the setting information is smaller than a preset threshold value. It is determined whether or not the setting information is within an appropriate range from the comparison result.

ここで、受信した設定情報が適正な範囲内にあると判断した場合には、制御部11は、処理を該ステップS2に戻し、異常を検出するまで継続して該判断を行わせる。  Here, when it is determined that the received setting information is within an appropriate range, thecontrol unit 11 returns the process to step S2, and continues the determination until an abnormality is detected.

一方、前記ステップS2の判断処理で、受信した設定情報が適正な範囲内にない場合には、制御部11は、手術室内の各種機器の設定状態(動作状態)に異常が生じたと判断して、続くステップS3の処理にて警告情報生成部15により各種機器の設定状態(動作状態)が適正でないことを術者に知らしめるための警告情報を生成させる。  On the other hand, if the received setting information is not within an appropriate range in the determination process of step S2, thecontrol unit 11 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the setting state (operating state) of various devices in the operating room. In the subsequent step S3, the warninginformation generation unit 15 generates warning information for notifying the surgeon that the setting state (operating state) of various devices is not appropriate.

そして、制御部11は、続くステップS4の処理にて前記ステップS3の処理で生成された警告情報を送受信部10によって通信回路16を介して手術室の内視鏡システム2へと送信して内視鏡システム2のモニター6の内視鏡画像が表示されている画面上に該警告情報を表示させる。  Then, thecontrol unit 11 transmits the warning information generated in the process of step S3 in the subsequent process of step S4 to the endoscope system 2 in the operating room by the transmission /reception unit 10 via thecommunication circuit 16. The warning information is displayed on the screen on which the endoscopic image of themonitor 6 of the endoscope system 2 is displayed.

すなわち、支援室の遠隔制御システム3から送信された警告情報は、手術室の内視鏡システム2の送受信部7で受信され、そして、制御部5は、この受信した警告情報を例えば図3に示す画面6上に表示させる。  That is, the warning information transmitted from theremote control system 3 in the support room is received by the transmission /reception unit 7 of the endoscope system 2 in the operating room, and thecontrol unit 5 displays the received warning information in, for example, FIG. Displayed on thescreen 6 shown.

この警告情報を表示したモニター画面の表示例が図3に示されており、例えば電気メス出力が適正の範囲より高くなった場合の警告情報が示されている。  A display example of a monitor screen displaying this warning information is shown in FIG. 3, and for example, warning information when the electric knife output is higher than the proper range is shown.

例えば制御部5は、モニター6上に、内視鏡画像を表示する第1の表示領域6Bと、その第1の表示領域6Bに隣接し、他の2D内視鏡画像や3D内視鏡画像などを複数サムネイル表示する第2の表示領域6Cと、この第2の表示領域6Cの株に配され、患者情報を表示する第3の表示領域6Fと、この第3の表示領域6Fとは逆側の画面下端に配され、各種機器の設定情報を表示する第4の表示領域6Dと、前記第3、第4の表示領域6F,6Dとの間に配され、受信した警告情報を表示する第5の表示領域6Eとで構成される画面6Aを表示させる。  For example, thecontrol unit 5 has afirst display area 6B for displaying an endoscopic image on themonitor 6 and another 2D endoscopic image or 3D endoscopic image adjacent to thefirst display area 6B. Thesecond display area 6C that displays a plurality of thumbnails, the third display area 6F that is arranged in the stock of thesecond display area 6C and displays patient information, and the third display area 6F are opposite to each other. Is arranged at the lower end of the screen, and is arranged between thefourth display area 6D for displaying setting information of various devices and the third andfourth display areas 6F, 6D, and displays the received warning information. A screen 6A composed of the fifth display area 6E is displayed.

すなわち、前記第6の表示領域6Eに、図4に示すように、例えば警告情報として、“電気メス出力落とせ”という文字を表示させる。この場合、制御部5は、その警告を術者にさらに効果的に知らしめるために、“落とせ”という文字のみを強調表示、あるいは点滅表示するように制御する。あるいは“電気メス出力落とせ”という文字全部を強調表示、または点滅表示するように制御しても良い。  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, as the warning information, the characters “drop electric knife output” are displayed in the sixth display area 6E. In this case, thecontrol unit 5 performs control so that only the character “drop” is highlighted or blinked in order to make the warning more effective for the surgeon. Alternatively, it may be controlled to highlight or blink all the characters “drop electric knife output”.

なお、本実施例では、モニター6上の画面の前記第6の表示領域6Eに前記警告情報を表示するように説明したが、これに限定されることはなく、例えば図4に示す画面6Aの内視鏡画像(ライブ画像)が表示されている第1の表示領域6Bにオンスクリーン表示しても良い。但し、その警告表示は、表示されている内視鏡画像上の一部、つまり、術者がその警告表示によって手術に妨げにならない位置に表示することが必要である。あるいは、その警告表示を所定期間表示させた後に消すことにより、術者に対し手術の妨げにならないように表示させても良い。  In the present embodiment, the warning information is displayed in the sixth display area 6E of the screen on themonitor 6. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the screen 6A shown in FIG. On-screen display may be performed in thefirst display area 6B where the endoscopic image (live image) is displayed. However, the warning display needs to be displayed on a part of the displayed endoscopic image, that is, at a position where the surgeon does not interfere with the operation by the warning display. Alternatively, the warning display may be displayed so as not to hinder the operation by displaying it for a predetermined period and then turning it off.

また、警告表示とともに、その警告情報を音声にて再生する再生手段を設け、前記モニター表示とともに、その警告情報を再生することにより、さらに効果を得るように構成しても良い。  Further, a reproducing means for reproducing the warning information by sound together with the warning display may be provided, and the warning information may be reproduced together with the monitor display so as to obtain further effects.

(効果)
したがって、本実施例によれば、手術室にて外科手術等が行われている際に、その手術室の内視鏡システム2内の各種機器の設定状態に異常が生じた場合に、それを支援室の遠隔制御システム3を用いて支援者が確実に認知し且つ的確な支援情報を術者に送ることができるとともに、自動的にその旨(警告情報)を手術室のモニター上に表示させて術者に迅速且つ確実に知らしめることができる。これにより、より手術を安全且つ確実に行うことが可能となる。
(effect)
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when a surgical operation or the like is being performed in the operating room, if an abnormality occurs in the setting state of various devices in the endoscope system 2 in the operating room, Using theremote control system 3 in the support room, the supporter can surely recognize and send accurate support information to the surgeon, and automatically display that fact (warning information) on the monitor in the operating room. The operator can be notified quickly and reliably. Thereby, it becomes possible to perform surgery more safely and reliably.

(Constitution)
5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the surgery support system according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a system configuration diagram for explaining the schematic configuration of the surgery support system, and FIG. 6 is a feature of this embodiment. It is a flowchart which shows the example of control by the operating room side for demonstrating an effect | action. In FIG. 5, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Only different portions will be described.

本実施例では、前記第1実施例のように支援室側の遠隔制御システム3内で各種機器の設定情報が適正な範囲内であるか否かの判定を行うのではなく、手術室側の内視鏡システム2内でその判定を行い、警告表示を自動的に行うように構成したことが特徴である。  In this embodiment, it is not determined whether the setting information of various devices is within an appropriate range in theremote control system 3 on the support room side as in the first embodiment, but on the operating room side. The determination is made in the endoscope system 2 and a warning display is automatically performed.

図5に示すように、本実施例の手術支援システム1Aにおいて、支援室の遠隔制御システム3は、手術室の各機器の設定範囲がその手術の場合にどの程度の範囲にあれば、適正な設定範囲であるかの基準情報を、例えば図2に示す表示画面を用いて入力して生成し、この生成された基準情報を、制御部11の制御によって送受信部10にて手術室の内視鏡システム2Aに送信する。  As shown in FIG. 5, in the surgical operation support system 1A of the present embodiment, theremote control system 3 in the support room is appropriate if the setting range of each device in the operating room is within the range in the case of the operation. The reference information as to whether it is the set range is generated by inputting, for example, using the display screen shown in FIG. 2, and the generated reference information is inspected in the operating room by the transmission /reception unit 10 under the control of thecontrol unit 11. Transmit to themirror system 2A.

なお、図中には、前記支援室に、前記第1実施例にて用いられた比較部14,警告情報生成部15が設けられているが、本実施例では必ずしも設けなくても良い。  In the figure, the support room is provided with thecomparison unit 14 and the warninginformation generation unit 15 used in the first embodiment, but may not be necessarily provided in the present embodiment.

一方、本実施例の手術室の内視鏡システム2Aは、前記第1の実施例と略同様に動作する比較部14Aと、警告情報生成部15Aとが設けられている。  On the other hand, theendoscope system 2A in the operating room of the present embodiment is provided with acomparison section 14A and a warninginformation generation section 15A that operate in substantially the same manner as in the first embodiment.

比較部14A及び警告情報制御部15Aは、それぞれ制御部5に接続されている。  Thecomparison unit 14A and the warninginformation control unit 15A are each connected to thecontrol unit 5.

比較部14Aは、支援室の遠隔制御システム3から送られてくる上記基準情報を入力し、この基準情報と予め手術室側にて設定された閾値とで比較を行い、比較結果を制御部5に供給する。  Thecomparison unit 14A inputs the reference information sent from theremote control system 3 in the support room, compares the reference information with a threshold set in advance on the operating room side, and compares the comparison result with thecontrol unit 5. To supply.

警告情報生成部15Aは、制御部5により制御されるもので、例えば前記比較部14Aによる比較結果が閾値より大きいものと判断したものである場合には、現在手術室で行われている手術にて使用された各種機器の設定状態(動作状態)が適正でないことを術者に知らしめるための警告情報を生成し制御部5に供給する。  The warninginformation generation unit 15A is controlled by thecontrol unit 5, and for example, when it is determined that the comparison result by thecomparison unit 14A is larger than the threshold value, the warninginformation generation unit 15A performs the operation currently performed in the operating room. Warning information for informing the surgeon that the setting states (operation states) of the various devices used in this manner are not appropriate is generated and supplied to thecontrol unit 5.

制御部5は、前記比較部14Aによる比較結果に基づき、前記警告情報生成部15Aによる警告情報の生成処理を制御するとともに、生成された警告情報を、前記第1の実施例と略同様に(図3参照)にモニター表示させる。  Thecontrol unit 5 controls the warning information generation process by the warninginformation generation unit 15A based on the comparison result by thecomparison unit 14A, and the generated warning information is substantially the same as in the first embodiment ( (See FIG. 3).

その他の構成は、前記第1の実施例と同様である。  Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

次に、本実施例の特徴となる作用を、図6を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
(Function)
Next, the operation which is a feature of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

いま、本実施例の手術支援システム1を用いて手術室の外科手術に行う術者に対し、支援室の支援者による支援を行うものとする。  Now, it is assumed that the supporter in the support room provides support to an operator who performs surgery in the operating room using thesurgery support system 1 of the present embodiment.

このとき、手術室の内視鏡システム2Aと支援室の遠隔制御システム3とが電源投入されており、予めそれそれの各種機器の設定値が設定されているものとすると、支援室の遠隔制御システム3の制御部11は、上述したように、予め生成された、手術室の各機器の設定範囲がその手術の場合にどの程度の範囲にあれば、適正な設定範囲であるかの基準情報を、送受信部10にて手術室の内視鏡システム2Aに送信する。  At this time, assuming that theendoscope system 2A in the operating room and theremote control system 3 in the support room are turned on and set values of various devices are set in advance, the remote control of the support room is performed. As described above, thecontrol unit 11 of thesystem 3 generates, in advance, the reference information indicating the appropriate setting range if the setting range of each device in the operating room is within the range of the operation. Is transmitted to the endoscope system 2 </ b> A in the operating room by the transmission /reception unit 10.

一方、手術室の内視鏡システム2Aでは、制御部5は、例えば図6に示す処理ルーチンを起動させる。すなわち、制御部5は、ステップS10の処理にて、前記支援室の遠隔制御システム3から送信された内視鏡画像及び各種機器の基準情報を送受信部7にて受信させる。  On the other hand, in theendoscope system 2A in the operating room, thecontrol unit 5 activates, for example, a processing routine shown in FIG. That is, thecontrol unit 5 causes the transmission /reception unit 7 to receive the endoscopic image and the reference information of various devices transmitted from theremote control system 3 in the support room in the process of step S10.

そして、制御部5は、続くステップS11の判断処理にて、前記比較部14Aを用いて受信した基準情報が適正な範囲にあるか否か、すなわち、予め設定した閾値よりも基準情報が小さいか否かを比較させ、その比較結果から基準情報が適正な範囲内に有るか否かを判断する。  Then, thecontrol unit 5 determines whether or not the reference information received using thecomparison unit 14A is within an appropriate range in the determination process of step S11, that is, whether the reference information is smaller than a preset threshold value. It is determined whether or not the reference information is within an appropriate range from the comparison result.

ここで、受信した基準情報が適正な範囲内にあると判断した場合には、制御部5は、処理を該ステップS11に戻し、異常が発生するまで継続して該判断を行わせる。  Here, when it is determined that the received reference information is within an appropriate range, thecontrol unit 5 returns the process to step S11 and continues to perform the determination until an abnormality occurs.

一方、前記ステップS11の判断処理で、受信した基準情報が適正な範囲内にない場合には、制御部5は、手術室内の各種機器の設定状態(動作状態)に異常が生じたと判断して、続くステップS12の処理にて警告情報生成部15Aにより各種機器の設定状態(動作状態)が適正でないことを術者に知らしめるための警告情報を生成させる。  On the other hand, when the received reference information is not within an appropriate range in the determination process of step S11, thecontrol unit 5 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the setting state (operating state) of various devices in the operating room. In the subsequent processing in step S12, the warninginformation generating unit 15A generates warning information for notifying the surgeon that the setting state (operating state) of various devices is not appropriate.

そして、制御部5は、続くステップS13の処理にて前記ステップS12の処理で生成された警告情報を該内視鏡システム2のモニター6に表示されている画面上に表示させる。この場合のモニター表示例は、図3に示すように前記第1の実施例と略同様である。  And thecontrol part 5 displays the warning information produced | generated by the process of said step S12 on the screen currently displayed on themonitor 6 of this endoscope system 2 by the process of subsequent step S13. The monitor display example in this case is substantially the same as the first embodiment as shown in FIG.

その他の作用については、前記第1の実施例と同様である。  Other operations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

(効果)
したがって、本実施例によれば、手術室にて外科手術等が行われている際に、その手術室の内視鏡システム2A内の各種機器の設定状態に異常が生じた場合に、手術室の内視鏡システム2A側でそれを自動的に判断し且つ自動的にその旨(警告情報)を手術室のモニター上に表示させて術者に迅速且つ確実に知らしめることができる。これにより、前記第1の実施例と同様により手術を安全且つ確実に行うことが可能となる。
