A surgical coagulator includes a radiation detecting sensor adjustably positioned proximate an electrode of the coagulator, and a controller for receiving and processing electrical signals from the detecting element. The controller operates to control an audio tone generator to emit a tone of higher intensity as the surgeon moves the coagulator closer to radioactively tagged malignant tissue of a patient, and of lower intensity as the coagulator moves away from the tissue, thereby pennitting the surgeon to accurately locate and remove the malignant tissue.

La présente invention concerne un coagulateur chirurgical comprenant un capteur de détection de rayonnement positionné de manière réglable à proximité d'une électrode du coagulateur, ainsi qu'une unité de commande conçue pour recevoir et traiter des signaux électriques provenant de l'élément de détection. L'unité de commande fonctionne pour commander un générateur de son afin qu'il émette un son de plus haute intensité au fur et à mesure que le chirurgien rapproche le coagulateur de tissus malins d'un patient marqués radioactivement et un son de plus faible intensité au fur et à mesure qu'il éloigne le coagulateur de ces tissus, ce qui permet au chirurgien de localiser et de retirer avec précision les tissus malins.
