A surgical process for freezing or cauterizing infected tissue, by inserting a transparent sleeve through a small slit in the flesh of a patient and wherein the inserted end of the sleeve is provided with a cone-shaped tip. Monitoring of the sleeve and probe insertion and location of the infected area is achieved by video camera. After removing the solid and rigid probe, a fiber optic tube is inserted into the sleeve whereby ambient light is conducted through the tube. A carbon rod is inserted through the fiber optic tube having its pointed end in contact with the infected area. The carbon rod is connected to a source of cold or heat. In a cold application, the infected area is frozen so when the carbon rod is removed and replaced by a suction device, the frozen area can be fragmented and the particles removed.
