A surgical digitizing apparatus and procedure will typically involve a pad having discrete segments which may be arranged in a specific order to accommodate a particular procedure. The individual segments can then be used to accomplish both diagnostic and therapeutic functions. For example, the segments can be interrogated to produce a map of body tissue and then electrosurgically energized to perform a therapeutic function in accordance with the map. Communication with the discrete segments will typically be accomplished through a microprocessor and associated switching circuits.

L'invention concerne un appareil et une procédure de numérisation chirurgicale impliquant généralement un tampon qui présente des segments distincts pouvant être disposés selon un ordre spécifique afin de s'adapter à une procédure particulière. Les segments individuels peuvent ensuite être utilisés à des fins diagnostiques et thérapeutiques. Par exemple, ces segments peuvent être sollicités pour l'obtention d'un plan des tissus corporels et ensuite être alimentés par voie électrochirurgicale de manière à être utilisés à des fins thérapeutiques en fonction dudit plan. La communication avec lesdits segments distincts est en général établie au moyen d'un microprocesseur et de circuits de commutation associés.
