Abstract:
The present invention relates to minimally invasive surgery techniques. It provides a method for manufacturing an antenna for percutaneous acute hyperthermia microwave applications of the monopole or dipole co-axial type provided with trap, commonly called choke, for blocking the propagation of the backwards reflecting wave towards the generator. The miniaturization of the device allows a use minimally invasive for interstitial hyperthermia in medicine and surgery, in particular for oncology. The method of manufacturing the antenna provides a metal needle (1) for the introduction of the antenna (2,3,4) in the target tissue. On the external conductor (4) of the antenna (2) a metal collar 6 is connected in a predetermined position; a plastics sheath (5) is applied in order to cover the external conductor (2) in the portion between the feed (7) and the collar 6; the inner wall of the metal needle 1 wherein the antenna is inserted is then used for containing and guiding the collar 6 and the sheath 5; in particular, the collar 6 being in electrical contact with the inner wall of the metal needle 1. An antenna is thus obtained with choke of variable length and with miniaturized diameter. A thermocouple can be introduced through the choke that protrudes the directly in the “feed” zone.
