Abstract

The overtube includes a slider within an overtube body, which guides an endoscope and a treatment tool into a body cavity. An endoscope-coupled part and a treatment tool-coupled part are provided inside the slider, and the slider has a dead zone where the forward and backward movement of either the endoscope or the treatment tool does not interlock with the movement of the other and a sensing zone where the forward and backward movement of either the endoscope or the treatment tool interlocks with the movement of the other. A contact surface of the overtube body with a body wall is constituted of a wall surface member that serves as a rotation-preventing wall surface for preventing rotation in a rotational direction with an axial direction of the overtube body as a center.

Claims (65)

1. An endoscopic surgical device comprising:

an endoscope that observes the inside of a body cavity;

a treatment tool that inspects or treats an affected part within the body cavity; and

an overtube that guides the endoscope and the treatment tool into the body cavity,

wherein the overtube includes

an overtube body that passes through a body wall and is inserted into the body cavity,

a slider member provided in the overtube; and

a sleeve member provided in the overtube;

wherein the slider member has a first stopper and a second stopper which are provided separately from each other in a longitudinal axis direction of the overtube,

the sleeve member is slidably located on a first path formed between the first stopper and the second stopper,

the slider member has a first holder part configured to hold the endoscope and a second path through which the endoscope is inserted,

the sleeve member has a third path through which the treatment tool is inserted, and the sleeve member comprises a second holding part configured to hold the treatment tool inserted through the third path,

wherein a contact surface of the overtube body with a body wall includes a rotation-preventing wall surface for preventing rotation in a rotational direction with an axial direction of the overtube body as a center.

2. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the rotation-preventing wall surface is provided with a first concavo-convex part including a groove part or a projection part that is formed along an axial direction of the overtube body.

3. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 2 ,

wherein a plurality of the first concavo-convex parts are provided in the rotational direction of the overtube body.

4. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the plurality of first concavo-convex parts are periodically provided in the rotational direction of the overtube body.

5. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the rotation-preventing wall surface is provided with a second concavo-convex part including a groove part or a projection part that is formed along the rotational direction of the overtube body.

6. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 5 ,

wherein a plurality of the second concavo-convex parts are provided in the axial direction of the overtube body.

7. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the plurality of second concavo-convex parts are periodically provided in the axial direction of the overtube body.

8. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the second concavo-convex part includes a first locking surface that restricts the movement of the overtube body to a distal end side in the axial direction, and a second locking surface that restricts the movement of the overtube body to a base end side in the axial direction.

9. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 8 ,

wherein each of the first locking surface and the second locking surface includes a surface including a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the overtube body.

10. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a range where the sleeve member is movable forward and backward with respect to the slider member is limited.

11. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a following formula is satisfied when a fixing force for fixing the first holding part to the endoscope is defined as F1 and a fixing force for the second holding part to the treatment tool is defined as F2,

F 1> F 2.

12. The endoscopic surgical device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first valve member that is provided in the second path and secures airtightness within the body cavity; and

a second valve member that is provided in the third path and secures airtightness within the body cavity,

wherein following formulas are satisfied when a fixing force for fixing the first holding part to the endoscope is defined as F1, a fixing force for fixing the second holding part to the treatment tool is defined as F2, and a frictional force that the endoscope receives from the first valve member when the endoscope moves forward and backward is defined as F3,

F 1> F 3

F 2> F 3.

13. An overtube comprising:

an overtube body that passes through a body wall and is inserted into a body cavity;

a slider member provided in the overtube; and

a sleeve member provided in the overtube;

wherein the slider member has a first stopper and a second stopper which are provided separately from each other in a longitudinal axis direction of the overtube,

the sleeve member is slidably located on a first path formed between the first stopper and the second stopper,

the slider member has a first holder part configured to hold the endoscope and a second path through which the endoscope is inserted,

the sleeve member has a third path through which the treatment tool is inserted, and the sleeve member comprises a second holding part configured to hold the treatment tool inserted through the third path,

wherein a contact surface of the overtube body with a body wall includes a rotation-preventing wall surface for preventing rotation in a rotational direction with an axial direction of the overtube body as a center.

14. The overtube according to claim 13 ,

wherein the rotation-preventing wall surface is provided with a first concavo-convex part including a groove part or a projection part that is formed along an axial direction of the overtube body.

15. The overtube according to claim 14 ,

wherein a plurality of the first concavo-convex parts are provided in the rotational direction of the overtube body.

16. The overtube according to claim 15 ,

wherein the plurality of first concavo-convex parts are periodically provided in the rotational direction of the overtube body.

17. The overtube according to claim 14 ,

wherein the rotation-preventing wall surface is provided with a second concavo-convex part including a groove part or a projection part that is formed along the rotational direction of the overtube body.

18. The overtube according to claim 17 ,

wherein a plurality of the second concavo-convex parts are provided in the axial direction of the overtube body.

19. The overtube according to claim 18 ,

wherein the plurality of second concavo-convex parts are periodically provided in the axial direction of the overtube body.

20. The overtube according to claim 17 ,

wherein the second concavo-convex part includes a first locking surface that restricts the movement of the overtube body to a distal end side in the axial direction, and a second locking surface that restricts the movement of the overtube body to a base end side in the axial direction.
