A thermal burning tool for performing a surgical procedure. The tool comprises a probe having an elongated body adapted to provide electrical power to a burning ring formed at a distal end thereof, with the burning ring being formed at an oblique angle from the tool probe. This enables formation of a burn having a diameter larger than the diameter of the hollow body, as measured along the largest axis of the burn. An input connector mounted on a proximal end of the probe connects the probe with an electrical power source, with the input connector having at least one resistor in an electrical circuit for controlling the electrical power provided to the burning ring. Upon application of electrical current to the tool, heat is concentrated at the distal end of the probe. In a preferred embodiment, the tool additionally provides pressurized airflow, eliminating the need for a separate airflow tool.
