Abstract:
A method for surgically removing a tumor from a woman's breast is provided. The method can include inserting an optical trocar having a working channel and a transparent tip through a skin incision, guiding the transparent tip of the trocar through breast tissue with visualization such that the transparent tip of the trocar is placed adjacent to the tumor, insufflating gas via the working channel of the trocar to create a cavity in an operative field next to the tumor, dissecting the tumor free with a surgical instrument inserted through the working channel and removing the tumor through the trocar.
Abstract:
A trocar system with a trocar which has a trocar mandrel, a trocar sleeve and a valve block, characterized by a tubular working sleeve having an axially continuous inner channel, in which the trocar can be inserted in such a way that the trocar sleeve is sealed with the outer perimeter thereof in the inner channel, so that the distal tip of the trocar mandrel projects distally out of the working sleeve and that the valve block is located proximally outside the inner channel, and having at least one working channel which is formed on the working sleeve and extends from a proximal inlet opening to a distal outlet opening.
Abstract:
A trocar system, comprising a trocar having an optical channel extending coaxially in the trocar for receiving an optical unit, and a hollow transparent distal tip of the trocar, which can be observed from the interior. The distal working end of an instrument having two working parts movable relative to one another is formed on the distal tip, wherein a first working part is an integral component of the tip and the second working part is mounted movably on the tip, wherein an actuating channel is constructed in the wall of the trocar surrounding the optical channel, which channel extends axially parallel from the proximal end of the trocar into the distal tip thereof, and wherein an actuating element is received in the actuating channel such as to be axially displaceable.
Abstract:
A trocar system, having a trocar, a trocar sleeve, an optical channel extending coaxially in the trocar for receiving an optical unit, and a hollow transparent distal tip of the trocar, which can be observed from the interior by means of the optical unit, wherein a working channel extends continuously from the proximal end to the distal end in the trocar and opens into an outlet opening in the region of the distal end, and wherein the inner wall of the working channel is formed at least in an axially continuous sub-region of the circumference thereof by the trocar sleeve.
Abstract:
A medical instrument comprises a guide tube (10) that can be inserted into a bodily passage of a patient. An elastically flexible cannula may be displaced within an inner axial guide channel of the guide tube (10), the distal tip (52) of the cannula being able to emerge from a lateral opening at the periphery of the guide tube (10) at an angle to the axis of the guide tube (10). The guide tube (10) at its proximal end is accommodated in a handle piece (22) so as to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the guide tube.
Abstract:
An instrument is described for the penetration of body tissue with a hollow shaft, the point of which is formed as a conical, beveled, or tapered window. An optic with a lighting unit is brought into the point through the hollow shaft. The optic ends at an axial distance behind the summit of the point. The instrument can be inserted within view. In so doing, the entry of the point can be observed over the entire surface area thereof. Preferably, a second optic is run to the summit of the point, which in addition enables improved observation of the area lying directly in front of the point.

An instrument is described for the penetration of body tissue with a hollow shaft, the point of which is formed as a conical, beveled, or tapered window. An optic with a lighting unit is brought to the point through the hollow shaft. The optic ends at an axial distance behind the summit of the point. An advancing element having a cutting edge extends along the point. The instrument can be inserted while viewing the structure to be penetrated. In so doing, the structure adjacent the point can be observed over substantially the entire surface area thereof. Preferably, a second optic is run to the summit of the point, which in addition enables improved observation of the area lying directly in front of the point.
