Definitions
- the present invention relates to surgical cutting instruments and, more particularly, to surgical suction cutting instruments for use in cutting and removing bodily tissue from fluid unavailable surgical sites where irrigation or introduction of fluids is undesirable or proscribed, such as, for example, for use in cutting and removing tissue in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses or for use in cutting and removing fibroid tissue or tumors
- an irrigating fluid to the surgical site to clear bodily fluids, such as blood, and to assist in the removal of cut bodily tissue
- bodily tissue In some procedures, such as arthroscopic surgery, it is common for bodily tissue to be cut and removed using surgical suction cutting instruments, such as the Intra-Arc system by Linvatec of Largo, Florida and similar instruments by Smith & Nephew Dyonics of Andover, Massachusetts, and for the irrigating fluid to be provided to the surgical site by separate irrigating instruments developed solely for the purpose of providing irrigation.
- the irrigating fluid is dispensed from instruments that perform other functions, such as vacuum curettes, as exemplified by U.S. Patents No.
- irrigation of the surgical site is generally undesirable or prohibited in that some of the irrigating fluid can dram from the surgical site into other areas of the body, such as the lungs, resulting in unwanted complications
- endoscopic sinus surgery to cut and remove bodily tissue, such as polyps, from the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses has typically been performed without irrigation using various manually operated and powered (i e , motorized) cutting instruments.
- manually operated cutting instruments When used in sinus surgery, manually operated cutting instruments have the disadvantage of tending to rip or tear bodily tissue as the tissue is cut causing unwanted trauma to surrounding mucosal tissue and excessive bleeding. Furthermore, manually operated cutting instruments must typically be withdrawn from the cavity or sinus to remove cut bodily tissue necessitating frequent substitution of instruments and increasing operating time.
- Powered cutting instruments for use in sinus surgery can reduce operating time by aspirating cut bodily tissue through the lumen of an inner tubular member rotatably received within an outer tubular member
- the distal end of the inner tubular member has a surface or edge for engaging tissue via an opening in the distal end of the outer tubular member, and, as the inner tubular member is rotatably driven at its proximal end, for example by a motorized handpiece, the surface or edge of the inner tubular member will cooperate with the opening in the outer tubular member to shear, cut or shave tissue
- powered cutting instruments are usually positioned in the nasal passage with other instruments such as a sinus endoscope, and, as a result, the inner and outer tubular members must be made small enough to maneuver within the limited space of the nasal passage without contacting
- the powered suction cutting instrument has no irrigating feature
- clogging of cut bodily tissue in the lumen of the inner tubular member frequently occurs requiring that the instrument be removed from the surgical site and dipped in a flushing fluid, such as saline, to clear the lumen of clogged tissue, thereby increasing operating time and the likelihood of blood accumulating at the surgical site
- a flushing fluid such as saline
- the powered cutting instrument has a cannula disposed concentrically around the outer tubular member for self-irrigation
- a relatively large portion of the irrigating fluid dispensed by the cannula is deposited at the surgical site
- irrigation of the surgical site is undesirable or prohibited in that the irrigating fluid can drain from the surgical site into the lungs of the patient causing the patient to drown
- the present invention allows continuous uninterrupted use of surgical suction cutting instruments, that clogging of surgical suction cutting instruments is reduced or eliminated without irrigating the surgical site, that the amount of fluid used in flushing the surgical suction cutting instrument can be precisely metered or controlled, that the total amount of fluid needed to eliminate clogging of surgical cutting instruments can be minimized, that fluid can be delivered via tubes positioned so as to leave the surgeon's view of the surgical site unobstructed, that fluid can be delivered in pulses to improve flushing of surgical cutting instruments, and that fluid introduced to reduce or eliminate clogging of surgical suction cutting instruments can function as a lubricant thereby increasing the life of the instruments.
- the present invention is generally characterized in a surgical suction cutting instrument including a tubular outer member defining a cutting chamber with an opening, an inner member with a distal cutting edge movably received in the tubular outer member and flushing means for supplying fluid to the cutting chamber via an outlet communicating with the cutting chamber
- the cutting edge of the inner member is disposed within the cutting chamber adjacent the opening to engage bodily tissue through the opening, and a passage or lumen can be defined through the inner member in communication with the cutting chamber for aspirating cut bodily tissue
- the flushing means includes a tubular member disposed alongside the tubular outer member and having an outlet communicating with the cutting chamber for supplying fluid to the cutting chamber to prevent and clear clogging of the passage without the need of having to remove the surgical suction cutting instrument from the body.
- Another aspect of the present invention is generally characterized in a method of cutting and removing bodily tissue at a surgical site including the steps of positioning the bodily tissue within a cutting chamber defined at the distal end of a tubular outer member, cutting the bodily tissue by moving a cutting edge of an inner member within the cutting chamber, aspirating the cut bodily tissue along the inner member, and supplying a fluid to the cutting chamber via an outlet communicating with the cutting chamber
- FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a surgical suction cutting instrument according to the present invention
- Fig. 2 is a side view, partly in section, of the surgicai suction cutting instrument of Fig 1
- Figs 3-5 are sectional views, taken through line 3-3 in Fig. 2, illustrating operation of the surgical suction cutting instrument according to the present invention
- the surgical suction cutting instrument of the present invention is described hereinafter as an instrument for cutting and removing bodily tissue from anatomical spaces, such as the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, where irrigation of the surgical site is generally undesirable or prohibited It will be appreciated, however, that the surgical suction cutting instrument of the present invention can be used at any surgical site to cut and remove bodily tissue, including surgical sites where irrigation is permitted or preferred
- a surgical suction cutting instrument 10 includes an outer tubular member 12 and an inner tubular member 14 rotatably received in the outer tubular member
- Outer tubular member 12 has an open proximal end 16 fixed to a plastic hub 18 and a rounded distal end 20 with a cutting chamber 22 defined therein
- An opening 24 at the distal end 20 of the outer tubular member forms a cutting port or window in communication with cutting chamber 22
- Inner tubular member 14 defines a lumen 26 between an open proximal end 28 and a distal end 30, the distal end 30 having an opening 32 therein communicating with lumen 26 and forming a suction inlet through which cut bodily tissue can be aspirated
- Peripheral edges of opening 32 form a cutting edge 34 at the distal end 30 of the inner tubular member 14, the distal end 30 being positioned within cutting chamber 22 adjacent opening 24 such that the cutting edge 34 can engage bodily tissue through the opening Proximal end 28 of the inner tubular member 14 is fixed to a plastic hub 36
- the opening 24 in the distal end of the outer tubular member 12 extends through the side and end walls to produce an edge cooperating with the cutting edge 34 formed on the distal end 30 of the inner tubular member 14 to form a full radius resector It will be appreciated, however, that the opening 24 can have any desired configuration to cooperate with the configuration of the cutting edge or edges on the distal end of the inner tubular member to cut, shave or trim bodily tissue in or forming an anatomical cavity
- Cutting edge 34 on the distal end of the inner tubular member can be smooth or serrated or partly smooth and partly serrated depending upon procedural use and the type of tissue to be removed
- a flushing mechanism 44 includes an elongate tubular member 46 having an outlet 48 communicating with the cutting chamber 22 via a fluid supply inlet 49 formed in the outer tubular member 12
- the tubular member 46 is attached to the outer tubular member 12 and has a proximal portion 50 angled away from a longitudinal axis of the outer tubular member and a distal portion 52 disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis on a side of the outer tubular member opposite opening 24
- Proximal portion 50 of the tubular member 46 terminates proximally at a nipple 54 having a configuration to couple with flexible or rigid tubing leading from a fluid source
- Distal portion 52 terminates at a closed distal end 56 of generally hemispherical configuration disposed adjacent the distal end 20 of the outer tubular member 12
- Outlet 48 is proximally spaced from distal end 56 and is aligned with the fluid supply inlet 49 in the outer tubular member 12 to permit a flushing fluid, such as saline, to flow from
- the inner tubular member 14 is rotatably driven in the outer tubular member 12 such that, when the suction inlet opening 32 and cutting port formed by opening 24 are aligned as shown in Fig 3, tissue T can be positioned within the cutting chamber 22 via the cutting port formed by opening 24
- the side of inner tubular member 14 opposite the suction inlet opening 32 will block the fluid supply inlet 49 of the outer tubular member 12 allowing only a small amount of fluid to flow from the tubular fluid supply member 46 into the cutting chamber 22 between the inner and outer tubular members 12 and 14 to serve as a lubricant
- tissue T positioned in the cutting port 24 and fluid supply inlet 49 blocked by the inner tubular member 14
- further rotation of the inner tubular member 14 causes cutting edge 34 to engage the bodily tissue T in the cutting port formed by opening 24 as shown in Fig 4
- inner tubular member 14 will have rotated about 180° to a position where the cutting port formed by opening 24 is blocked and the fluid supply inlet 49 communicating
- the surgical suction cutting instrument of the present invention permits bodily tissue to be cut and removed at fluid unavailable surgical sites, such as the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, where irrigation of the surgical site is undesirable or proscribed by communicating a flushing fluid directly to a cutting chamber formed at the distal end of a tubular outer member for aspiration along an inner member movably received in the tubular outer member Since the flushing fluid can be precisely administered into the cutting chamber adjacent a suction inlet at the distal end of the instrument, clogging of the instrument by cut bodily tissue can be reduced or eliminated without irrigating the surgical site such that the surgical site is maintained in a dry state In accordance with the present invention, all or substantially all of the flushing fluid passes directly into the cutting chamber for evacuation with cut tissue, however, for some procedures a small amount of flushing fluid can be tolerated at the surgical site
- Inner and outer members of the surgical suction cutting instrument and the tubular member of the flushing mechanism are preferably made of stainless steel but can be made of any suitable, medical grade materials to permit sterilization for reuse or for single patient use
- the tubular member of the flushing mechanism can be positioned at various locations along interior and exterior surfaces of the outer member and can be of various shapes and sizes to define a fluid supply channel having an outlet aligned with a fluid supply inlet formed in the outer member in communication with the cutting chamber
- the tubular member of the flushing mechanism is of smaller diameter than the outer member and positioned on the side of the outer member opposite the cutting port to provide the surgeon with an unobstructed view of the surgical site
- the tubular member of the flushing mechanism can be connected to the outer member by spot welding, adhesive bonding or by any other suitable form of fixation
- the distal end of the tubular member of the flushing mechanism can be rounded as shown, flat or tapered as desired and can terminate adjacent the distal end of the outer member or at locations proximally or distally spaced from the
- the inner member of the surgical suction cutting instrument can be rotatably driven, reciprocated or moved in any other way relative to the tubular outer member by a manually operated mechanism or a powered handpiece It will also be appreciated that the inner member can have one or more cutting edges formed by a blade, burr or any other type of cutting member depending upon procedural use of the surgical suction cutting instrument and the type of tissue to be removed
- the cutting chamber formed at the distal end of the tubular outer member can have any configuration to accommodate the cutting member forming the cutting edge or edges
- the cutting chamber can be substantially open to permit the burr to contact tissue internally or externally of the chamber
