Fluid management in surgical procedures. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including: supplying fluid to a surgical site inside a patients body; drawing fluid from the surgical site through a first instrument by a first pump at a first flow rate, the first flow rate during the drawing responsive to expected or actual visibility within the surgical site; and then performing a surgical resection within the surgical site using the first instrument, the performing the surgical resection changes the first flow rate; and adjusting, by a fluid management system after the surgical resection, the first flow rate responsive to the expected or actual visibility within the surgical site.

Systems and methods herein are directed to an endoscopic device with a drip flange, including the assembly and use of the endoscopic device. The endoscopic device with a drip flange may be positioned to abut an aperture into an operative cavity and inserted through the aperture. An endoscopic procedure may be performed, during which fluid moves along an outside surface of the elongate shaft, the fluid moving from the distal end toward the proximal end, and where the fluid is directed to a drip flange coupled to the outside surface of the elongate shaft between the distal tip and a proximal end of the elongate shaft.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are discussed herein for an endoscope. The endoscope has a distal tip with an oblique portion and a flat portion, the oblique portion defines a plane that forms an angle between and including 20 and 40 degrees to a central axis of the endoscope. A related sheath may have similar features at the distal tip.

摘要:
A system for arthroscopically treating a lesion at a desired location adjacent a hip joint includes an MIS port, the MIS port sized to permit access to the hip joint at the desired location, with the MIS port further sized to permit visualization of the lesion at the desired location. A cutting tool is included, the cutting tool having a cutting head and adapted for placement into the MIS port to position the cutting head adjacent the lesion at the desired location. A template is provided, with the template sized for placement through the MIS port to a position adjacent the lesion, the template further sized and shaped to allow the cutting head to reach at least a portion of the lesion, such that the portion of the lesion can be removed.
摘要:
A reinforced arthroscope comprising external ribs to provide for a number of separate fluid channels, such as inflow, outflow and interstitial tissue drainage, when the arthroscope is slipped into a disposable external sheath. The arthroscope is constructed to be sufficiently rigid so as to penetrate and move within a joint without damaging the rod optics inside. The externality of the arthroscope channels allow for cleaning and sterilizing the scope between uses.

An implant for use in the treatment of damaged cartilage within a joint, the implant is adapted to be inserted into a cavity of the joint and reduce stress on the cartilage engendered, for example, by patient activity. The implant may form an internal cushion, which protects the cartilage such that wearing forces. The cushioning effect facilitates regeneration of the cartilage.

The devices and methods shown provide for the minimization of extravasation during arthroscopic surgery. The anti-extravasation sheath allows a surgeon to drain excess fluids from the soft tissue surrounding the surgical field during arthroscopic surgical procedures.
