FIELD: medical equipment.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical devices. A surgical system includes a surgical laser source operable to emit a surgical laser beam; an optical coherence tomography (OCT) engine operable to emit an OCT beam; an endoprobe optically coupled to surgical laser source and OCT engine. Endoprobe includes an OCT fibre for transmitting OCT beam; a surgical laser fibre for transmitting surgical laser beam; surgical laser beam passes through at least one optical element, creating a plurality of spots from surgical laser beam; and cannula unit, comprising a first cannula having a first scanning optical system, and rotating in opposite direction second cannula, having a second scanning optical system, OCT optical fibre and optical fibre of surgical laser, optically connected with first and second scanning optical systems so that OCT beam and surgical laser beam each pass through first and second scanning optical systems, and rotation in opposite direction of first and second scanning optical systems leads to simultaneous scanning with OCT beam and surgical laser beam; and a processor programmed to control scanning with optical system for scanning with OCT beam and surgical laser beam at target tissue area and OCT signal detection from target tissue.
EFFECT: using present invention will allow to expand range of equipment, specifically surgical systems.
