A method for treating tumors, such as uterine leiomyomata, includes inserting an ablation apparatus (22) into a pelvic region and positioning the ablation apparatus (22) into a pelvic tumor. The method further includes using a laparoscope (12) and an imaging device (16) , such as an ultrasound machine, to confirm the location of the pelvic tumor and placement of the ablation apparatus (22) . The method further includes delivering electromagnetic energy or other energy through the ablation apparatus to the pelvic tumor to directly ablate the tumor. A surgical system for ablating pelvic tumors is also provided. |
