Surgical Flush Suction Pipe

タイトルまたは説明

Flush Suction Pipe
A Flush Suction Pipe is a surgical medical device used in surgical procedures to remove fluids, debris, or blood from the surgical site. It typically consists of a hollow tube connected to a suction source, allowing for the efficient removal of unwanted substances.
 
Functions
Surgical Flush Suction Pipe for Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Discectomy
 
 
 
Unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) discectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat lumbar disc herniation. The surgical flush suction pipe is an essential tool in UBE discectomy that enables continuous irrigation and debris removal. This helps maintain a clear surgical field, potentially reduces infection risk, and allows for the minimally invasive nature of the procedure. Proper use of this instrument is crucial for successful outcomes in UBE spine surgery.
 
 
 
1. The UBE technique utilizes two small portals - one for the endoscope and one for surgical instruments. The flush suction pipe is inserted through one of these portals.
 
2. Continuous irrigation with saline solution is crucial in UBE procedures to maintain a clear surgical field. The flush suction pipe provides this constant flow of irrigation fluid.
 
3. The pipe serves two main functions:
 
   - Flushing the surgical area with irrigation fluid to improve visibility
 
   - Suctioning out blood, and debris, and using irrigation fluid to keep the field clear
 
4. Maintaining good water flow and output is essential for a clear view of anatomical structures and to reduce the risk of neural injury from poor visibility.
 
5. The flush suction pipe allows for the removal of surgical debris and potential contaminants, which may help reduce infection risk[3].
 
6. Typically, over *0 liters of saline irrigation is used during a **2 hour UBE procedure.
 
7. Proper management of irrigation inflow and outflow via the flush suction pipe is a key technical consideration in UBE surgery.
 
8. Compared to full-endoscopic techniques, the "floating" scope technique in UBE requires more active management of irrigation and suction to maintain visibility.
