Surgical forceps

1. A surgical forceps comprising:

an insertion portion main body including a distal end portion and a proximal end portion in a direction of a longitudinal axis;

an opening/closing operation portion main body provided at the distal end portion of the insertion portion main body, and including an internal space formed along the longitudinal axis;

a grasping portion provided to the opening/closing operation portion main body, and configured to grasp an object;

a first operation portion provided at the proximal end portion of the insertion portion main body, and configured to operate a grasping movement of the grasping portion;

an operation rod having one end portion and the other end portion and arranged in the internal space of the opening/closing operation portion main body so as to be movable along a direction of a longitudinal axis of the opening/closing operation portion main body, the one end portion being connected with the grasping portion so as to cause the grasping portion to perform grasping movement by the operation rod moving in the internal space according to operation of the first operation portion to which the other end portion is connected, wherein

the opening/closing operation portion main body includes one side hole which communicates between the internal space and outside at a predetermined position on a side surface of the opening/closing operation portion main body, and

a second operation portion is provided which includes a grasping portion opening/closing mechanism configured to be arranged in the one side hole, the grasping portion opening/closing mechanism causing the grasping portion to perform grasping movement by moving a distal-end-side operation rod configuring a part of the operation rod along a longitudinal direction of the opening/closing the operation portion main body.

2. The surgical forceps according to claim 1 , wherein the grasping portion opening/closing mechanism configured to cause the grasping portion to perform grasping movement includes a first operation member and a second operation member provided in the one side hole and rotatably connected to each other, and an end portion of the first operation member which is not connected to the second operation member is rotatably connected to the side hole, and an end portion of the second operation member which is not connected to the first operation member is rotatably connected to the operation rod.

3. The surgical forceps according to claim 2 , comprising:

a distal-end-side constituting portion provided on a distal end side of the insertion portion main body and including the second operation portion and the grasping portion, wherein

the insertion portion main body and the distal-end-side constituting portion are connected to each other by a joint portion configured to be able to be bent or flexed, and

a flexible member configuring a part of the operation rod is arranged so as to pass through a through hole formed at a protrusion which includes a spherical portion configuring the joint portion, the flexible member being able to be bent or flexed.

4. The surgical forceps according to claim 3 , wherein the distal-end-side constituting portion includes a biasing member which biases the grasping portion in a direction in which the object is grasped by the grasping portion or in a direction in which the grasping is released.

5. The surgical forceps according to claim 4 , wherein the grasping portion includes:

a pair of grasping members configured to be openable/closable, each of the pair of grasping members having a grasping surface for grasping a tissue on one end side;

a holding member arranged at a halfway portion of the pair of grasping members, for rotatably holding each of the pair of grasping members;

rotation members each having one end side which is rotatably connected to the other end side of each of the pair of grasping members; and

the operation rod having one end side to which the other end side of each of the rotation members is rotatably connected, the operation rod being advanceable/retractable in an axis direction, and

the second operation portion for switching the grasping members into an open state or a closed state, includes:

the opening/closing operation portion main body which is formed by a cylindrical body having the internal space in which the operation rod is slidably arranged; and

a biasing member arranged in the internal space of the opening/closing operation portion main body, the biasing member biasing the operation rod to move the operation rod in the axis direction and hold the grasping portion in an open state or in a closed state.

6. The surgical forceps according to claim 5 , wherein the grasping portion includes a receiving surface provided at a proximal end portion of each of the pair of grasping members.

7. The surgical forceps according to claim 5 , wherein the distal-end-side constituting portion and the insertion portion main body are connected to each other through a joint portion which allows the distal-end-side constituting portion and the insertion portion main body to be able to be flexed by an external force.

8. The surgical forceps according to claim 7 , wherein the distal-end-side constituting portion is attachable and detachable to and from the insertion portion main body.

9. The surgical forceps according to claim 7 , wherein the joint portion can be changed into a state in which a central axis of the distal-end-side constituting portion intersects with a central axis of the insertion portion main body or into a linear state, and can be held in the intersecting state or in the linear state by a holding mechanism.

10. The surgical forceps according to claim 5 , wherein the operation rod includes a distal-end-side operation rod having a distal end portion connected to the grasping portion, an operation rod main body having a proximal end portion connected to the first operation portion, and a flexible member having flexibility previously set and connecting the operation rod main body and the distal-end-side operation rod.

11. The surgical forceps according to claim 10 , wherein the proximal end portion of the operation rod main body is connected to a movable handle rotatably connected to the first operation portion.

12. The surgical forceps according to claim 11 , wherein the first operation portion is provided with a ratchet mechanism for holding a moved position of the movable handle.

13. The surgical forceps according to claim 5 , wherein the second operation portion includes a grasping portion opening/closing mechanism configured by the first operation member having one end pivotally supported in a rotatable manner on a proximal end side of the side hole of the opening/closing operation portion main body and the second operation member having one end pivotally supported in a rotatable manner at the other end of the first operation member and having the other end pivotally supported in a rotatable manner at the operation rod.
