摘要：An electrosurgery device according to an embodiment of the invention capturesa lymph nodule and resects it. The lymph node is captured with a vacuum and resected itwith an electrode, which minimizes bleeding and limits the potentially malignant nodefrom coming into contact with surround tissue as it is resected and removed. This limitsthe potential for inadvertent cancer spread. An electrosurgery device according to anembodiment of the invention also allows several lymph nodes to be resected in a singleprocedure, each lymph node being easily indexed according to its nodal station andstored in a manner that limits the potential for cross-contamination. An electrosurgerydevice according to an embodiment of the invention further provides a collector forindividually receiving resected lymph nodes. The collector may be easily detached andsent to pathology without interrupting resection of other lymph nodes.
