Abstract
A treatment system includes: a treatment instrument for cutting living tissue in a liquid; and a controller for performing control, prior to cutting the living tissue with the treatment instrument, to suppress reduced visibility of a treatment area due to turbidity in the liquid caused by the cutting of the living tissue based on preparation information regarding cutting preparation for the treatment instrument.
Claims22
A treatment system comprising:
- a treatment instrument extending in a longitudinal axis direction, the treatment instrument being configured to cut living tissue in a liquid;
- a controller configured to perform control, prior to cutting the living tissue with the treatment instrument, to suppress reduced visibility of a treatment area due to turbidity in the liquid caused by the cutting of the living tissue based on preparation information regarding cutting preparation for the treatment instrument;
- and wherein the treatment instrument includes a sensor configured to detect movement in three axial directions and rotation around each axis, the three axial directions being orthogonal to one another and including an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the controller is configured to acquire, as the preparation information, information regarding the movement in each of the three axial directions and the rotation detected by the sensor.
A control device comprising a controller configured to, prior to cutting living tissue in a liquid using a treatment instrument that extends in a longitudinal axis direction, perform control to suppress reduced visibility of a treatment area due to turbidity in the liquid caused by the cutting of the living tissue based on preparation information regarding cutting preparation for the treatment instrument;
- and wherein the treatment instrument includes a sensor configured to detect movement in three axial directions and rotation around each axis, the three axial directions being orthogonal to one another and including an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the controller is configured to acquire, as the preparation information, information regarding the movement in each of the three axial directions and the rotation detected by the sensor.
A method of operating a treatment system, the treatment system including a treatment instrument and a controller, the treatment instrument extending in a longitudinal axis direction, the treatment instrument being configured to cut living tissue in a liquid, the method comprising:
- performing control, by the controller, prior to cutting the living tissue with the treatment instrument, to suppress reduced visibility of a treatment area due to turbidity in the liquid caused by the cutting of the living tissue based on preparation information regarding cutting preparation for the treatment instrument;
- and wherein the treatment instrument includes a sensor configured to detect movement in three axial directions and rotation around each axis, the three axial directions being orthogonal to one another and including an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the controller is configured to acquire, as the preparation information, information regarding the movement in each of the three axial directions and the rotation detected by the sensor.
