Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil d'ablation de tissus dans une région de traitement, l'appareil comprenant un transducteur (36, 36') de traitement par ultrasons destiné à être orienté dans une première direction longitudinale et dans une première direction angulaire (40, 42) dans la région de traitement (26); à être orienté dans la première direction longitudinale et dans une deuxième direction angulaire (40, 42) dans la région de traitement; et à être orienté dans une deuxième direction longitudinale et dans la première direction angulaire (40, 42) dans la région de traitement . L'appareil comprend également un système de commande destiné à exciter (par des conducteurs (46)) le transducteur (36, 36') pour effectuer l'ablation de tissus (60) contigus à la première direction longitudinale et à la première direction angulaire dans la région de traitement (26); de tissus contigus à la première direction longitudinale et à la deuxième direction angulaire dans la région de traitement (26); et de tissus contigus à la deuxième direction longitudinale et à la première direction angulaire dans la région de traitement (26), respectivement.
