The use of endoscope can effectively reduce the cross infection between patients and greatly improve the efficiency of minimally invasive surgery. Let's talk about the work content of medical endoscope, which is divided into hard and soft endoscopes.
Endoscopy is widely used in different departments and different diseases in clinic. It is mainly divided into hose endoscope (soft endoscope for short) and hard tube endoscope (hard endoscope for short). Soft endoscope mainly includes gastroscope, enteroscope, laryngoscope, fiberoptic bronchoscope, etc; Hard mirrors include laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, ureteroscopy, cystoscopy, arthroscopy, hysteroscopy, etc.
Hard endoscopy can be divided into laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, hysteroscopy and other categories. Various types of hard mirrors are used together with supporting equipment to complete the diagnosis and treatment of various types of diseases. The main supporting equipment of hard mirror includes camera system host, camera, cold light source, monitor, trolley, etc. Hard endoscopy mainly enters into human sterile tissues and organs or into human sterile chambers through surgical incision, such as laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, arthroscopy, intervertebral disc endoscopy, ventriculoscopy, etc. The hard mirror is a prism optical system, which has the great advantage of clear imaging. It can be equipped with multiple working channels and multiple viewing angles.
Soft endoscopy mainly completes the examination, diagnosis and treatment through the natural lumen of the human body. For example, gastroscope, enteroscope, laryngoscope and bronchoscope mainly enter the human body through the digestive tract, respiratory tract and urinary tract. The optical system of the soft endoscope is the optical fiber optical system. The biggest feature of this optical fiber endoscope is that the lens part can be manipulated by the operator to change the direction and expand the scope of application, but the imaging effect is not as good as that of the hard endoscope.
Soft endoscopy has been used in gastroenterology, respiratory medicine, otorhinolaryngology, Urology, anorectal department, thoracic surgery, gynecology and other departments. From simple disease screening to the treatment of complex achalasia, it brings benefits such as timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment, low risk, small surgical trauma and rapid postoperative recovery.
From the perspective of medical application, medical endoscope is mainly used for surgery and routine medical examination. Compared with traditional surgery, the functional minimally invasive surgery technology of medical endoscope has been widely accepted by doctors and patients. Medical endoscope uses natural holes in the human body or opens several small holes when necessary. As long as doctors skillfully penetrate the endoscope lens into the body, Through other surgical instruments and camera display system, closed surgical operation in vivo can be carried out in vitro.
