Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Biochemical and histological findings in rat hepatectomy experiments demonstrated that the use of a piezo-actuator pulsed water jet system (ADPJ) in liver resection reduced postoperative liver damages when compared with the use of existing instruments. In experiments using resected human tissues, it was shown that the rupture stress values in liver parenchyma, including hepatic cirrhosis, were lower than rupture stress values in liver tumor capsules, hepatic veins, and Glisson's sheath. Moreover, the relationship between the drive voltage of the ADPJ and rupture stress values in resected tissues and the depth of incision were investigated. Preservation of blood vessels with ADPJ was demonstrated using resected porcine livers and the speed of incision was shown to be significantly faster than that of the existing instruments. In this study, the benefits of ADPJ in liver resection, including hepatic cirrhosis, in comparison with existing ultrasonic surgical instruments were demonstrated.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ピエゾ駆動方式パルスジェットメスは、既存機器と比較し出血量と熱損傷の少ない肝切除が行えることを証明できた。破断応力値の実験結果からは、理論的には肝細胞癌に多い肝硬変でも腫瘍被膜を損傷することなく肝切除可能であることも証明された。肝細胞癌や転移性肝腫瘍では肝切除が唯一の根治治療となることが多く、その際に出血量の少なく安全かつ迅速な肝切除を容易に可能にできれば、患者や医療従事者の身体的負担軽減のみならず、輸血量の削減や術後合併症の低減が期待できる。その結果として医療費抑制も期待できるなどその社会的意義も大きい。また、当然ながら患者の生命予後へも大きく寄与できるものである。
