METHOD FOR REMOVING CEREBRAL TUMOURS WITH FLUORESCENCE DIAGNOSTICS DETECTION OF TUMOUR IN COMBINATION WITH COAGULATION AND ASPIRATION AND DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING IT

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine. A device comprises a sapphire probe with longitudinal canals accommodating optical fibres; some of them are applicable for supplying a radiation exciting fluorescence and coagulating the radiation into tissue destruction from attached radiation sources; the others are applicable for supplying the fluorescence radiation onto a radiation detector. The sapphire probe also has an open aspiration canal connected to an aspirator by means of a hose. The relative position of the canals enables detecting fluorescence from an area matched with the tissue coagulation and aspiration area. A flat end of a point may be presented at a right angle to a probe axis and/or may have inclined refractive edges. The other open canal comprises metal contacts attached to an electrocoagulator. Implementing the method requires measuring fluorescence in a small neighbourhood of the sapphire probe. If certain threshold fluorescence has been exceeded, a laser coagulation and/or electric coagulation and aspiration of the coagulated and tumour tissue through the same sapphire probe is conducted.;EFFECT: group of inventions enables increasing an accuracy of tumour delimitation with using a fluorescent diagnostics, reducing a time required for the complete tumour removal and enables removing the difficult tumours.;8 cl, 8 dwg, 1 ex
