Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for sealing, tamponing protection of a surgically applied circular anastomosis between an oral and an aboral end of the large intestine, in particular the rectum or sigma, or another suture or lesion existing in this section of the intestine, with the same time chair-guiding function through the anastomosed or injured or surgically or otherwise interventionally supplied segment of the intestine, and then passing the chair through the anal sphincter.
- circular sutures are usually created, which connect the oral and aboral end of the intestine cut through during the resection “end-to-end”.
- the anastomosis is carried out by means of metal clips arranged in a ring shape, which connect the two ends of the intestine and restore the continuous lumen of the intestine.
- the clipping is carried out by special applicators, so-called staplers, which are inserted through the anus of the patient into the area of the intestine to be connected.
- suture insufficiencies which are usually caused by reduced vascular perfusion in the clipped area.
- necrotic ischemia of the intestinal wall near the anastomosis and the contents of the intestine escape into the abdominal cavity, which as a rule causes serious, life-threatening inflammatory complications.
- relief neostomies are therefore carried out when resecting segments of the large intestine, particularly in the area of the deep rectum.
- the intestinal contents are drained into a collecting pouch far above the rectum, usually in the area of the small intestine, through the abdominal wall, via a surgically created artificial intestinal exit, a so-called stoma.
- the penetration of stool into the intestine anastomosed with the wreath seam is thus prevented, one that Aenastomosis-causing stool collection or possible dilatation of the joined intestinal ends is thus avoided.
- the stoma is moved back and excreted again in the normal way. Surgical placement and relocation of a stoma, as well as the course of a stoma therapy, are not without complications and in many cases require surgical revision.
- the dumbbell-shaped balloon sits on a shaft tube that is elastically deformable in the anal canal.
- the shaft tube and the tapered balloon portion are thus arranged concentrically to one another, which enables a sealing of the anal canal that is synchronous with the pleural muscles.
- the trans-anal balloon segment of the anal mucosa remains clinging in a continuously sealing function, spontaneously and adaptively following the respective position of the anal sphincter.
- the force required for the adaptive, transanal seal is absorbed by the rectal segment of the dumbbell-shaped balloon body.
- the new types of systems are filled with a defined, predetermined balloon volume, with the conceptual setting of a sagging, unexpanded state of the balloon.
- the pressure prevailing in the trans-anal positioned balloon is in interaction with the current rectal motility or the currently acting rectal forces.
- a corresponding device of this type for continuous stool dissipation is described in PCT / EP2012 / 003534.
- PCT / EP2012 / 003534 There, however, it is a largely passive arrangement, the pressure within the balloon being reduced in relation to silicone-based balloons; for use in a freshly performed resection, a regularly too high pressure would have to be selected for a sufficiently sealing placement of such a balloon within the colon due to peristaltic movements there, which would damage the highly sensitive tissue after the resection procedure.
- At least one thin-walled balloon body made of a material with preferably low volume extensibility for placement in the region of the anastomosis during manufacture, in such a way that its distal end of the balloon or its distal balloon segment orally the anastomosis in the region of the rectum or sigma of the patient or also extends beyond the sigma, the balloon body enclosing a flexibly and / or elastically deforming tube element which penetrates the balloon body from its distal or oral end or balloon segment to its proximal or aboral end or balloon segment and there is connected or connectable to an extracorporeal tube, the tamponing balloon body being connected via a tube-shaped inlet and outlet to an extracorporeal device which is so active in the inlet and outlet of a filling medium to and from the balion body controls or passively allows the tamponing balion body to maintain a filling pressure that is as small as possible, but also sufficient for the sealing tamponade of the
- the distal or oral end of the balloon body is to be located orally to the anastomosis so that it is protected from stool by the sealing end of the colon upstream of the anastomosis, the position of the proximal or aboral end of the balloon body is not restricted to a specific position.
- the proximal end of it can also be located orally to the anastomosis. In such a case, the inner tubing would extend largely exposed inside the colon.
- the invention recommends placing the proximal end of the balloon at least aborally of the anastomosis or extending it to the anus or even providing it pre-anal.
- the invention thus provides a drainage-like, tamponing device for draining liquid stools, which is inserted trans-anal into the patient's freshly resected and anastomosed rectum, and liquid-modified stool, depending on the respective post-operative site, 5 to 15 cm, preferably 10 cm above the anastomosis, and through the anus, in a normal way, past the anastomosis suture, into a stool-collecting vessel outside the body.
- the device essentially consists of a tubular film or film-like tubular component that adapts itself to the anatomical, axial course of the intestine and follows, spontaneously elastically straightens up on its respective profile formed during manufacture, and absorbs and dissipates the chair.
- the elastically deforming and straightening Foil tube carries a membrane-like thin-walled, cylindrical or even with Haustren-like, circular constrictions, which extends from the rectum floor to the patient's sigma or even beyond the sigma.
- the balloon body is shaped to its full working dimension during manufacture. Its diameter corresponds to the diameter of the respective, freely unfolded, completely atonous rectum and / or sigma. In the preferred case, the diameter of the balloon body exceeds the assumed rectosigmoidal diameter, and then has a so-called residual dimension.
- the balloon also has a transanal segment which adjoins the rectal segment. The trans-anal segment is positioned within the anal canal and continues the balloon body through the anal canal.
- the transanal balloon portion is preferably provided with a diameter which corresponds to or exceeds a fully opened anus. In the case of a partial opening of the sphincter, there is therefore an advantageous, radial folding in of the residual sleeve wall, which is excess in diameter.
- the balloon body In front of the anus, the balloon body optionally expands into a spherical or discoid shaped pre-anal segment.
- a separately fillable, anchoring inner balloon or a correspondingly anchoring, differently designed abutment element can be installed as an alternative to a balloon-based fixation of the
- a device in the area of the peri-anal skin can be a surface adhesive fixation which acts as an abutment.
- the dumbbell-shaped balloon body is filled by a volume reservoir or a mechanical exciter outside the body through a particularly large-lumen, hose-like feed line.

- the retaining element can also connect to the proximal end of the balloon element 5, the proximal end of the balloon body then being approximately at the same height as the outer opening of the anus.
- the retention element 5a can be a balloon-like body but can also consist of gel-like or foam-like materials.
- the element ensures that the device remains in the position required for its protective and draining function and does not dislocate from the transanal position into the rectum.
- the trans-anal taper TA of the balloon element is placed in the patient across the sphincter or within the anal canal.
- the elastically deformable hose element 6 merges extracorporeally into a dissipative hose 7, which connects the head part of the device to the collector 4.
- the draining tube is preferably made of a film tube-like material, so it can collapse into a flat, band-like structure when the patient is under load or when the patient is lying on it.
- the balloon element 5 is filled by a large-lumen, flexibly bendable, lumen-stable feed line 8, the diameter and length of which are dimensioned such that the gas volumes required for the dynamic tamponade desired according to the invention are sufficiently rapid and not impeded by excessive flow resistance derived from the balloon, as well as can be introduced into the balloon.

- the regulator can also contain a module M upstream of the respective valve units with a reservoir function and / or pump function and / or a connection to an external pressure or vacuum source.
- FIG. 1 a shows a special, axially segmented embodiment of the rectal or rectosigmoidal balloon body, as a result of which the tampon-sealing device in the area immediately exposed in the anastomosis in a particularly adapted, perfusion-protecting manner or with particularly low pressure values which maintain the blood flow to the anastomosis can be filled. Pressure-related infarctions in the area of the anastomosed intestinal ends can be optimally prevented.
- the embodiment thus has a relative high-pressure segment 5b and a relative low-pressure segment 5c. In the low pressure segment, for example, tamponing pressures of only 5 mbar above the internal organ pressure prevailing in the resection area can be set.
- the low-pressure segment 5c preferably extends through the anal canal and encloses the pre-anal abutment element 5a.
- the high pressure segment 5b is positioned distal to the low pressure segment. His job is to look after one orally from the anastomotic portion of the intestine to produce a sealing function. The vascular blood flow in this section of the intestine is unimpaired and thus allows higher filling pressures that optimize the sealing efficiency of the balloon tamponade.
- the two segments 5c and 5b are shaped in the area of contact of their balloon shoulders in such a way that they lie against one another with the smallest possible upper and lower shoulder radii, thus avoiding pocket-like spaces for the accumulation of intestinal contents between the balloon segments.

- the remaining gap between the segment 5d and the diameter of the shaft tube is 3 to 10 mm, preferably 3 to 5 mm.
- the balloon segment Sd changes into a diameter that corresponds to the opened, relaxed, largely atonic anal canal, or has a diameter that exceeds this up to 50%, preferably up to 25%.
- the balloon segment 5d can enclose a pre-anal abutment element 5a, but can also end flush pre-anal with the outer opening of the anal canal, and there change into a pre-anal attached, film-like adhesive fixation or such, if possible without forming a space, be affiliated.
- the distally terminal balloon segment 5e can also be used the proximal segment 5d, which is tapered relative to this, and optionally also with the pre-anal segment 5a, in a freely continuous, freely communicating manner so that a constant pressure equalization is possible between all balloon segments 5a, 5d, 5e.
- the balloon segments 5a, 5d, 5e are all supplied only via one or more common filling lines 8.
- the wall thickness of the balloon envelope is increased in segment 5d with the diameter tapered relative to segment 5e, which means that the radial expansion of the envelope near the anastomosis occurs even with higher inflation pressures Segment 5d can be avoided.
- Anastomotic area AS does not have a tamponing function that lies flat against the anastomosis and avoids the perfusion-preventing direct contact of the balloon body with the anastomosed balloon ends.
- the tapered segment Sd also protects the shaft tube and prevents direct mechanical irritation of the seam area due to the chair tube that is significantly thicker than the baiion body.
- the device In order to be able to derive wound secretions produced by the anastomosis from the area of the tapered segment 5d, the device is provided with a special drainage line DL, which absorbs wound secretions in the area of the anastomosis and leads them extracorporeally via a hose line 7a.
- the proximal, tapered segment 5d can also be structurally and functionally separate from the distal, sealing segment. Such an arrangement is shown in Fig. 1b in the left half of the catheter 2. There is no flow connection between the distal or oral balloon segment 5e and the proximal or aboral balloon segment 5d, so that the respective pressures in both balloon segments 5d, 5e can be specified and / or regulated separately. In particular, the pressure in the distal balloon segment 5e can then be set higher than in the proximal balloon segment 5d.
- FIG. 1c shows an embodiment of the device with a special pre-anal fixing component, whereby instead of or in addition to an abutment element 5a, a foil-like fastening FB is used, which is glued flat onto the perl-anal skin areas PH of the patient.

- the circular anastomosis AS is above the anal canal TA.
- the balloon element 5 extends from pre-anal PA through the anal canal TA, through the rectum R, optionally into the area of the sigma S. If there is a contraction of the sigmoid, the rectum or the anus, the preferably gaseous filling medium becomes or compresses the air filling in the balloon element, which increases the pressure in all other segments of the tamponing balloon body.
- This change in pressure is recorded by the sensor 9 and causes the control unit C to open the valve Vo.
- the valve continuously releases volume from the balloon in the course of the force exerted on the body of the balloon, so that a certain target pressure set by the user is maintained as constant as possible in the balloon. If the tone of the contraction subsides and the intestinal lumen opens, the valve VI supplies the balloon with volume in a corresponding manner, in order to maintain the desired pressure. This interaction allows a peristaltic contraction of the recto-sigmoidal colon to be compensated in such a way that the balloon inflation pressure does not, on the one hand, produce critically high pressure values that endanger the anastomosis.

- the expected fluctuations in the diameter of the anal canal can be compensated for in a sufficiently sealing manner from the folding of the residual dimensioned balloon wall in situ within the anal canal.
- the force which the balloon envelope acts as a seal against the mucous membrane of the anal canal corresponds to the respective force absorbed recto-sigmoidally by the balloon body.
- trans-anal balloon diameter exceeds the respective diameter of the anus, a trans-anal sealing pressure continuously corresponding to the recto-sigmoidal pressure can be produced in the described embodiment.

- the balloon body is preferably dimensioned in such a way that it corresponds to the diameter of the atonous colon or rectum or exceeds its atonous diameter by up to 50%.
- the balloon which is tamped without tension, is filled with a preferably gaseous medium by the regulating, extracorporeal part of the device or is applied with tamponing pressure in such a way that within the balloon body, responsive to the current tone of the intestine or its contraction state, a consistent, sets the filling pressure specified by the user, which ranges, for example, in a range of approx. 5 to 30 mbar and maintains the capiilar perfusion in the area of the vascularly supplied, end-to-end connected intestinal ends, transmural from the balloon to the vascular bed of the intestine acting force therefore does not result in a critical lower perfusion.
- the filling volume is actively removed or removed from the balloon by the regulating mechanism when the setpoint specified by the user begins to be exceeded its passive outflow from the balloon initiated.
- the regulating unit fills the balloon with filling medium in such a way that the specified target pressure is maintained throughout remains.
- the dynamic displacement of filling medium from and into the tamponizing lumen-closing balloon enables the catheter-like device to be held stationary in the intestine and to prevent peristaltic expulsion or excretion of the device from the intestine or the device in the manner required for its specific function to hold the anastomotic position.
- the colo-rectal tamponade can also be produced by, for example, two sequentially arranged cylindrical balloons, both balloon components having the same or approximately the same diameter, and both segments being able to be filled individually.
- the orifice positioned near the mouth has a higher set pressure for its primary sealing function than the specification, while in the aborally positioned balloon, which is exposed to the anastomosis, there is a relatively smaller pressure that is as gentle as possible on the perfusion.
- the entire body is in one piece, but its oral segment is relatively enlarged in diameter in relation to the aboral segment, which is exposed to the anastomosis. While the oral segment has a primary sealing function, the part of the balloon body adjoining after the oral function has which is exposed to the anastomosed segment, a primary protective function. A mechanical erosive effect of the shaft tube on the anastomosis is avoided. Furthermore, the segment does not exert any direct pressure on the anastomosis and thus ensures that secretions released from the suture can flow unhindered and without resistance into the lumen of the intestine.
- the balloon envelope which is reduced in diameter to approximately the size of the shaft tube, thus allows a certain space that can hold up secretions and allow the secretions to passively drain out from there.
- the segment is provided with a separate, draining opening in the secretion-receiving space, the secretion received in the seam area being drained off through a separate hose line into a collecting container attached outside the body.
- two serially arranged, separately fillable baiion compartments are again conceivable.
- the filling of the balloon body is preferably regulated via two, separately manufactured hose feeds, which are offset by 180 degrees and integrated in the circumference of the hose element by means of corresponding openings.
- hose feeds which are offset by 180 degrees and integrated in the circumference of the hose element by means of corresponding openings.
- the material type, wall thickness and wall profile are designed in such a way that they give the device placed in the patient, colo-rectally, the necessary axial stability in order to ensure a continuous axial alignment of the shaft tube, avoiding kinks and twists, following the lumen of the intestine.
- the filling pressure is regulated extracorporeally by two conceptual types of mechanism.
- the governor can consist of a special, volume-elastic balloon material that keeps a filling medium in stock at a certain, mechanically defined pressure over a certain filling area or expansion area of its balloon wall. The displacement of the medium towards or away from the patient takes place in such a way that a pressure is established in the entire system that is filled with filling pressure, which corresponds to the tamponade pressure to be inflated and does not exceed this atraumatic, perfusion-maintaining pressure.
- the volume reservoir which acts isobarically over a certain volume range, is preferably used in the later postoperative phase when the heating process in the anastomotic area has already progressed.
- electronically regulating mechanisms are preferably used; in the preferred case, the prints are already inside the tamponized balloon envelope by means of corresponding electronic sensor components detect and thus enable an optimal control behavior, the displacement of filling medium in and out of the tampon balloon body follows a higher pressure gradient or differential pressure accelerating the respective inflow or outflow.
- the inflow and / or outflow of medium is thus driven by extracorporeal pressure on the regulator, which go beyond the atraumatic maximum pressure in the colourectal balloon body.
- pressures of 100 to 200 mbar can be present at the inlet of the regulating valve.
- the regulation via such a pressure gradient allows flow resistances in the system filling the balloon to be optimally compensated for.
- the respective flows directed towards and away from the balloon are preferably controlled by piezo-electrically driven valve units.
- the user has the option of specifying the target pressure within relatively narrow limits, and by increasing the differential pressure between the intracorporeal balloon and the extracorporeal regulator, the response time of the sealing tamponade is minimized.
- the device for protective tamponade of an anastomotic suture is placed intra-operatively by the surgeon through the anus of the patient after the end-to-end joining of the intestinal ends in such a way that the distal, stool-receiving end of the tamponade is about 5 to 10 cm above the Anastomosis is positioned.
- the pre-anal retention balloon is then filled and / or the device is fixed gluteally with an adhesive tape.
- the tamponing, chair-draining drainage is then connected to an electronic controller in the initial phase of the supply, for example for about three to four days, and is preferably filled with air as the filling medium and a target pressure of approximately 10 to 30 mbar adjusted, preferably 15 to 25 mbar.
- the isobaric Pressure control can be manufactured in a portable form, thus allowing the patient the best possible free movement
- the efficiency of the tampon seal is produced by oral-medicinal, continuous stool liquefaction, which keeps the stool in the thin consistency required for drainage for the required supply period.
- the total supply period is approximately 5 to 7 days.
- the drainage is then pulled over the anus, preventing the creation of a stoma.
