Abstract

The present invention relates to a medical apparatus, in particular, a mother-baby endoscope system consisting of hard mother-cholecystoscope and flexible baby-choledochoscope which comprises a multi-channel cholecystoscope utilized as a mother endoscope and a flexible choledochoscope utilized as a baby endoscope; The flexible choledochoscope comprises a bendable front end, an instrument channel connected to the front end, an operating part and a light source host machine connected to said operating part via a cable, a video camera system, and a water supply equipment is also connected to the flexible choledochoscope for water supplying. The front end of baby endoscope passes through the instrument channel of the mother endoscope. The multi-channel cholecystoscope enters into gallbladder cavity, removes the gallstones in the gallbladder cavity and gallbladder walls, then the flexible choledochoscope enters into cystic duct, common bile duct, common hepatic duct, left and right hepatic duct in porta hepatis to perform treatments.

Claims

1. A mother-baby endoscope system consisting of hard mother-cholecystoscope and flexible baby-choledochoscope, wherein said system comprises a multi-channel cholecystoscope utilized as mother endoscope and a flexible choledochoscope utilized as baby endoscope;

said multi-channel cholecystoscope comprises a hard endoscope body, an instrument channel disposed at the hard endoscope body, an input port of an ocular, an input port of cold light source, a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel, and further comprises a light source host machine connected to said input port connector of cold light source of the mother endoscope, and a video camera system of the input port of the ocular;

said flexible choledochoscope comprises a bendable front end, an instrument channel connected to said front end, an operating part, a light source host machine connected to said operating part via a cable, and a video camera system;
