Method and apparatuses of using foramen catheter needle scope to induce temporary blockade of sacral nerves

Abstract

A using method and apparatuses of foramen catheter needle scope of the present invention uses a new approach, new sites and set of apparatuses to block sacral nerves or nerve plexus to reduce pain during operating. The present invention uses an endoscopic video system with foramen catheter needle scope to introduce anesthetic agents via catheter through foramen of sacral bone to block the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers of lower pelvis, which includes the innervation of uterus, vaginal canal and perineum.

1 - 2 . (canceled).  
     
     
         3 . The Apparatus of foramen catheter needle scope to induce temporary blockade of sacral nerves and to reduce pain, comprising an outer sheath including a first passages longitudinally defined in the outer sheath and extending through the outer sheath, and a second passage longitudinally defined in the outer sheath and extending through the outer sheath, a stick-like plug previously fully received in the first passage, the first passage provided to partially receive an foramen catheter needle scope after the plug being removed from the outer sheath and the second passage defined for partially receiving a catheter to inject anesthetic agents, the foramen catheter needle scope having an optic device mounted thereon and a connector adapted to be connected to a cold light source and an digitally controlled video system.  
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of foramen catheter needle scope to induce temporary blockade of sacral nerves and to reduce pain during operating, comprising an outer sheath including a passage longitudinally defined in the outer sheath and extending through the outer sheath, and a foramen catheter needle scope partially received in the passage in the outer sheath, the foramen catheter needle scope including an optic device mounted thereon, a connector adapted to be connected to a cold light source and a digitally controlled video system, and a passage longitudinally defined in the foramen catheter needle scope and extending through the foramen catheter needle scope for receiving a catheter to inject anesthetic agents.  
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of using endoscope and foramen catheter needle to induce temporary blockade of sacral nerves and to reduce pain during operating, comprising an outer sheath receiving a first stick-like plug and the endoscope received in the outer sheath after the first stick-like plug being removed from the outer sheath, and the foramen catheter needle receiving a second stick-like plug, when the second stick-like plug being removed from the foramen catheter needle, a catheter received in the foramen catheter needle for injecting anesthetic agents.
