Abstract:
It is an object to provide a surgical tool for excising a hard solid organ such as cirrhotic liver or cutting the organ into a groove without causing bleeding. The inventors of the present invention have found that an organ resection tool including a brush-like structure capable of performing microwave irradiation and/or a brush-like structure capable of receiving a microwave can achieve the above-mentioned object, to thereby arrive at the present invention (organ resection tool including a brush structure capable of performing microwave irradiation). For example, an organ can be crushed or scraped away by manually abrading the organ with a brush of a solid organ resection tool including a brush structure capable of performing microwave irradiation according to the present invention. Further, the organ can be concurrently coagulated through the microwave irradiation to stop bleeding.
