A system for guidance and monitoring of intra-uterine, cervical and tubal procedures. The system includes (a) an assembly being operable by a weak hand of a surgeon. The assembly includes: (i) an endovaginal ultrasound transducer (10) being adapted for insertion into a portion of a patient's vagina, the endovaginal ultrasound transducer being for generating an ultrasound beam; (ii) a cervical hold (14) for holding a patient's cervix; and (iii) a connector (12) for interconnecting the ultrasound transducer and the cervical holder (14); (b) a medical instrument (60) for performing the procedure, the medical instrument being operable by a strong hand of the surgeon; and (c) a device for monitoring an alignment of the medical instrument with respect to the endovaginal ultrasound transducer and therefore also with respect to the ultrasound beam.

L'invention concerne un système de guidage et de surveillance destiné à des interventions intra-utérines, cervicales et tubaires. Ce système comprend (a) un ensemble pouvant être commandé par la main non-dominante d'un chirurgien. L'ensemble comprend (i) un transducteur à ultrasons endovaginal conçu pour être introduit dans une partie du vagin de la patiente, le transducteur à ultrasons endovaginal étant destiné à générer un faisceau d'ultrasons; (ii) un support cervical destiné à supporter le col de l'utérus de la patiente; et (iii) un connecteur destiné à l'interconnexion du transducteur à ultrasons et du support du col de l'utérus; (b) un instrument médical permettant de mettre en oeuvre la procédure, l'instrument médical pouvant être commandé par la main dominante du chirurgien; et (c) un dispositif permettant de surveiller un alignement de l'instrument médical en ce qui concerne le transducteur à ultrasons endovaginal et donc en ce qui concerne également le faisceau d'ultrasons.
