METHOD OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE REMOVAL OF BREAST CANCER AND RELATED DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B18/02 A61B18/08 A61B8/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine, particularly to mammalogy, and can be applied for minimally invasive removal of "minor" breast tumours. That is ensured by malignant tissue freezing with a cryoapplicator and removal. Beforehand, 0.25-0.5% Novocaine no more than 1 ml is injected into a tumour centre. It is followed with a small skin dissection, opening and isolation of skin edges, delivery of an ultrasound aided cryoprobe to the pathological centre, freezing to temperature -120°C for no more than one minute till total fixation. Excision of the frozen pathological centre as a tissue column and its pulling up are carried out simultaneously in a coagulation mode with using a special device, herewith coagulating a wound surface. The device contains a butterfly screwed cryogenic probe which is delivered through a bushing on a top branch and movable by a swivel joint and a handle. The cryogenic probe is mounted in a tube which has a sharp working edge and movable on a bottom branch. A wall of an internal wall of the tube has a channel and a groove for a cauter with its working end being arched as a hockey stick.

EFFECT: declared group of inventions allows ensuring ablastics, reducing traumatism, and reliably fixing the pathological centre.
