An apparatus and method for protecting the neurovascular bundle during cryoablation of tissues of the prostate (2) by heating the vicinity of the neurovascular bundle while cooling pathological tissues of a prostate to cryoablation temperatures, thereby cryoablating pathological tissues while protecting the neurovascular bundle from damage. A cryoprobe operable to cool a distal operating tip (82) while heating a proximal shaft is presented.
La présente invention a trait à un appareil et un procédé pour la protection du faisceau neurovasculaire lors de la cryo-ablation de tissus de la prostate par le chauffage du voisinage du faisceau neurovasculaire lors du refroidissement des tissus pathologiques d'une prostate, réalisant ainsi la cryo-ablation des tissus pathologiques tout en protégeant le faisceau neurovasculaire contre l'endommagement. L'invention a également trait à une cryosonde pour le refroidissement d'une pointe distale opérante tout en réchauffant la tige proximale.
