Abstract
One or more medical devices may be provided that may be used, for example, in bariatric surgery including a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Occlusion devices can be integrated with a catheter or tube to occlude one or more proximal or distal landmarks of a stomach and a stapling guide may be used to occlude a lateral boundary of the stomach to define a cavity. A volume of the potential resultant sleeve may be determined by inserting fluid or gas into the catheter or tube, measuring pressure, and calculating the volume of the cavity.
Claims (28)
1. A method of performing a sleeve gastrectomy on a stomach of a patient, comprising:
defining a distal boundary of a potential resultant sleeve by positioning a first occlusion device in an interior of the stomach at a first landmark of the stomach;
defining a proximal boundary of the potential resultant sleeve by positioning a second occlusion device in the interior of the stomach at a second landmark of the stomach;
defining a lateral boundary of the potential resultant sleeve and a path along which the sleeve gastrectomy may be performed by positioning a medical device on an exterior of the stomach; and
determining a volume of the potential resultant sleeve, wherein determining the volume of the potential resultant sleeve comprises:
filling the potential resultant sleeve to a predetermined pressure with fluid, wherein the first occlusion device, the second occlusion device, and the medical device trap the fluid within the distal boundary, the proximal boundary, and the lateral boundary of the potential resultant sleeve; and
measuring the volume of the potential resultant sleeve at the predetermined pressure.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing the sleeve gastrectomy along the path created by the medical device, if the volume of the potential resultant sleeve is a desired or suitable volume for a resected resultant sleeve.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting the medical device laterally if the volume of the potential resultant sleeve is too low or too high, and re-determining the volume of the potential resultant sleeve.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the medical device is a clamp.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the medical device is a stapler.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first occlusion device is a balloon.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second occlusion device is integrated or included with the first occlusion device.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second occlusion device is a clamp or an elastomeric band.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a medical tube comprises the first occlusion device and the second occlusion device.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the medical tube comprises a first portion with a first, constant diameter and a second portion with a second diameter, the second diameter being different from the first, constant diameter.
11. A system for a sleeve gastrectomy comprising:
a first occlusion device, the first occlusion device being configured to be inserted into an interior of a stomach and to be positioned at a first landmark thereof to occlude a first portion of the stomach and define a distal boundary of a potential resultant sleeve;
a second occlusion device, the second occlusion device being configured to be inserted into the interior of the stomach or positioned on an exterior of the stomach, the second occlusion device being configured to be positioned at a second landmark of the stomach to occlude a second portion of the stomach and define a proximal boundary of the potential resultant sleeve; and
a medical device being configured to be positioned on an exterior of the stomach, the medical device being configured to define a lateral boundary of the potential resultant sleeve and a path along which the sleeve gastrectomy may be performed, the lateral boundary along with the proximal and distal boundaries and occlusion thereof being configured to enable a measurement of a volume of the potential resultant sleeve, wherein the volume of the potential resultant sleeve may be configured to be determined by:
filling the potential resultant sleeve to a predetermined pressure with fluid, the fluid being configured to be trapped into the potential resultant sleeve by the distal boundary, the proximal boundary, and the lateral boundary created by the first occlusion device, the second occlusion device, and the medical device, respectively; and
measuring the volume of the potential resultant sleeve at the predetermined pressure.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the medical device is a clamp.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the medical device is a stapler.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first occlusion device is a balloon.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second occlusion device is integrated or included with the first occlusion device.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second occlusion device is a clamp or an elastomeric band.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein a medical tube comprises the first occlusion device and the second occlusion device, and wherein the medical tube comprises a first portion with a first, constant diameter and a second portion with a second diameter, the second diameter being different from the first, constant diameter.
