EXCISIONAL AND ULTRASOUND MEDICAL TREATMENT SYSTEM

摘要

An ultrasound medical treatment system (108) includes a tube (96) and first and second end effectors (110). The tube (96) has a distal end (100) insertable into a patient and has a lumen (012). The first end effector has a cutting tool (184), is insertable into the lumen of the inserted tube from outside the patient, and is translatable through the lumen of the inserted tube to inside the patient. The second end effector has an ultrasound medica l- treatment transducer assembly (112), is introducible into the lumen of the inserted tube from outside the patient, and is translatable through the lume n of the inserted tube to inside the patient. In one use, the cutting tool (18 4) takes a biopsy sample of possibly cancerous breast tissue (196) of a patient , and the breast receives ultrasound medical treatment from the transducer assembly to stop hemorrhaging.
