ABSTRACT:
The present cryosurgical system and method accurately locates relative to a defined internal area of a living body, an ultrasonic probe and, using stereotactic guide, a series of cooling probes and temperature probes, then presents in the same visual field an integrated ultrasonic display and temperature display to assist the surgeon in accurately sculpting and limiting the field of cooling.
