Description
Electro-surgical apparatus for removing tumours from hollow organs of the body
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the removal of tumours from hollow body organs
accessible to an endoscope, and in particular the removal of tumours from the bladder.
The removal of tumours from hollow organs of the body by surgery frequently results in the release of viable free tumour cells which may gain attachment to the mucosa thereby resulting in the reoccurrence of tumours.
Removal of tumours from the bladder is generally achieved either by an open operation (supra-pubic diathermy excision) or by transurethral resection
(TURO). It has been suggested by Smith [J.P.S.H. 74 547 to 550 (1981)], among others, that the
implantation of free tumour cells may be enhanced by instrumental damage to the mucosa during the
evacuation of tumour fragments by TUE. To overcome this problem intravesical installations of cytotoxic drugs have been examined [Zinck et al Journal of
Urology 134 1110-1114 (1985)]. In open surgery it is
usual for friable superficial portions of the tumour to be removed via a suction tube inserted through the first opening made in the bladder wall before the normal tissues are exposed to contamination. The application of this technique to TUB is expected to reduce the rate of recurrence of tumours resulting from TUR resection.
We therefore provide an apparatus for use in the removal of tumours from hollow body organs accessible to an endoscope comprising, in combination, an endoscope, having a closed end through which the telescope passes and an open operative end, a
diathermy suction tube extending through the closed end of the said endoscope to the open end and having an exposed electrode tip portion adjacent to an opening in or at the operative end of the tube, the said electrode being connected to a source of
electrical power.
The said opening in the tubing may be formed at the end of the tube i.e., the tube may be open-ended, or in a sidewall adjacent to the end thereof.
Additional small openings in the tube sideuall may also be provided if required.
In one form the diathermy tube is formed
from flexible translucent plastics material and the said diathermy electrode tip is formed of electrically conductive resistance wire connected to the source of electrical power by at least one electrically conductive wire located in the wall of the said tube.
The diathermy electrode wires are preferably embedded in the wall of the tubing but may, also, for example be secured along an outside wall.
It is preferred that the electrode is connected to two wires passing along diametrically opposed
portions of the tubing wall.
The exposed tip of the electrode may be formed in any convenient shape, for example it may be a wire having a circular or semi-circular shape preferably of the same diameter as the internal diameter of the opening in the tubing. The wire may be in contact with the wall of the opening or spaced therefrom and may be parallel or at an angle to the face of the opening.
In one form the diathermy tube is formed from an electrically conductive metallic tube coated with an insulating material, the operative tip portion of tube being left bare to provide a diathermy
electrode, the said tip portion extending beyond the open end of the cystoscope, the tube being connected to a source of electrical power by electrically conductive wires making contact with the opposite end thereof.
In another form the suction tube is formed from spirally wound wires coated with polytetraf luoroethylene (PTFE), the electrode tip being formed at an uncoated end of the tube, e.g. at the junction of the wires. A single double wound wire may, of course, be used in place of two wires.
A specimen collection vessel may be connected between the end of the tubing and the suction means. The specimen vessel -may be in the form of an elongated cylindrical body separable into two portions, the upper portion including an inlet pipe for connection with the said tubing and means for adjusting the suction applied to the tubing and the lower portion including an outlet pipe for connection with the suction means and
containing a replaceable filter in which the specimen is collected. The suction adjustment means may be a finger hole formed in the side of the said upper portion or at the end of a pipe communicating therewith.
In one embodiment of the invention a double channel endoscope is employed in which the two channels
extending along only a short length of the endoscope before merging into a single channel, the flexible translucent suction tube passes through one channel and the electrode wires, which are not embedded in the tube, through the second channel, where the two channels merge into a single channel the electrode wires then run parallel and adjacent the tubing and arm secured to the tubing near the open end in order to maintain the spatial relationship between the electrode tip and tube opening. In another embodiment of the present invention the diathermy tube is a rigid instrument that may be employed in co-operation with advancing mechanism of a urethrotome or the retracting mechanism of a
resectoscope. In this apparatus, a rigid insulated metal combined suction and diathermy tube is used, the operative exposed electrode of the mechanism being the distal circumference of the tube or, alternatively, a lateral window formed in the tube wall.
The invention will now be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 9 - is a diagramatic illustration of
another embodiment of the present invention.
The diathermy tube of Figure 1 comprises a
translucent flexible plastics tube 2 having an end 3 adapted for connection to a suitable suction apparatus, and an open end 4.
Twin electrode wires 5, have ends G connected to a diathermy apparatus and extend lengthwise of, and are embedded in, the walls of the tube at opposite ends of a diameter thereof. An exposed tip of the electrode 7 extends beyond the open end of the tube and is in the form of a circular wire ring spaced from end 4 of tube 2. In the diathermy tube of Figure 2 the exposed end 8 of the electrode wires 5 is in the form of a semicircular wire ring adjacent to end 4 of tube 2.
Suction through the diathermy tube is controlled by an aperture, which may be partially or fully closed by
an operative's finger, formed at the end of the tube adjacent the connection to the suction source or at a point in the means connecting the tube to the said source, e.g. in a specimen collection vessel.
In the diathermy tube of Figure 3 the opening 9 in tube 2 is formed in the side wall thereof adjacent to a closed end and the exposed tip of electrode 10 is in a form of a circular wire located within the circumference of the opening.
In Figure 4 a diathermy tube, generally indicated at 60 consists of a hollow plastics suction tube 61 having a removable diathermy electric tip 62 connected to a source of electrical power by leads 63 and connector 64. The non-operative end of the tube is connected to a suction device via tube 65 and includes a finger hole 66 to control the degree of suction applied to tube 61. The connector 64and lead 63 are passed retrogradely through the endoscope from the operative end so that the connector 64 can be connected to a source of electrical power at the other end. The suction tube 61 is then passed down through the endoscope and the electrode tip inserted over it's end, the tip being a press fit over the end of the tube 61.
A suitable specimen collecting vessel is
illustrated in Figure 5. The vessel, generally
indicated at 20, comprises two portions 21 and 22 in screw-threaded engagement. Portion 22 contains a pipe 23 for attachment to a suitable suction means such as a vacuum pump and further includes a replaceable specimen filter 24 on which tumour portions may be collected.
Portion 21 includes a pipe 25 for attachment to the end 3 of tube 2 and further includes a finger hole at 26 enabling the vacuum applied through end 23 to be manually adjusted.
A complete apparatus of invention is illustrated in Figures 6, 7 and 8.
A hollow diathermy suction tube 31 having end portions 32 and 33 extends through an endoscope sheath 40 having an open operative end 41 and a closed end 42.
Tube 31 consists of an inner chemically inert
electrically conducting tube 34, such as stainless steel, covered with an insulating sheath 35 formed of insulating plastics material, such as PTFE, except for end portion 32 which is left bare and which provides the cutting or coagulating electrode tip 34a. End 33 of 'tube 31 is slidably supported in a bush member 36, which acts to close end 42 of endoscope sheath 40, in a fluid
tight manner. End 33 is releasably secured to the hollow arm 38 of a hand piece 37 to make electrical contact with lead 39 of a diathermy unit (not shown).
Hand piece 37 is, in turn, slidably supported on a tubular member 43 secured through bush 36 and extending rearwardly therefrom. Hollow arm 38 of hand piece 37 is attached to a tube 50 communicating with a suction device via an optional specimen collection vessel (not shown) and contains an aperture 38a open to the atmosphere and positioned to permit it to be fully or partially closed by a finger of a user. A thumb plate 45 is provided at the end of 43 tubular support 43. A telescope 46 extends from the open en-d 42 of the endoscope tube 40 through bush 36 and tubular member 43 and is provided with a light source 47 and an eye piece 48. A washer 49 is located at the end of the telescope 46 adjacent the end of tubular member 43 to make fluid tight contact
therewith to prevent fluid seeping through and out of member 43. An irrigation fluid inlet 51 and tap 52 communicates with end 42 of endoscope 40 forward of bush 36. A spring member 53 is positioned between thumb plate 45 and hand piece 37 to normally urge the hand piece and therefore the diathermy tube 31 fully forward.
When in use the diathermy tube 31 is initially retracted within the endoscope tube 40 by the user applying pressure between the thumb plate 45 and the hand piece 37 and compressing spring 53. The endoscope 40 is then directed into the body organ from which a tumour, for example, is to be removed. The degree of suction applied at the operative end of the diathermy tube is controlled by finger pressure on aperture 38a. The position of the tumour is observed through the telescope 46 and the diathermy tube allowed to move forward under the influence of spring 53. Power from the diathermy unit is switched on and a portion of the tumour cuf away by the heated end 32 of the diathermy tube and the severed tissue immediately removed by suction through the open end of the diathermy tube and pipe 50 to a waste collection means. Irrigation fluid is caused to pass into the organ via the tube 51 and endoscope 40 and is sucked away together with blood and severed tissue, through the open end of the diathermy tube and through pipe 50 to a waste collection means.
In a simplified form of the apparatus described with reference to Figures 6, 7 and 8 and illustrated in Figure 9, in which like parts have like references, handle 37 is omitted and replaced by end 33 of tube 31
which is bent through 90° to provide an arm 54. A finger aperture 55 is provided in arm 54 to control the degree of suction through the tube. Connection to a diathermy device (or other source of electrical power) is achieved via leads 56 secured via a suitable plug means to arm 54. Movement of the diathermy tube 31 up and down the cystoscope is controlled by the user holding the arm 54.
