Patent number: 9326808Abstract: The system for providing computer guided ablation of tissue of a patient includes an ablative surgical computer system and a set of surgical devices. The ablative surgical computer system includes a guidance module for providing a treatment guidance plan to an operator; and, a treatment module for acquiring and processing surgical device output data, for optimally controlling treatment parameters and providing feedback information to the operator based on the treatment guidance plan. The set of surgical devices includes at least one ablative device for providing ablation of the treatment region based on the treatment parameters and operator input; and, at least one temperature sensing device for acquiring temperature data from the treatment region and providing a temperature sensing device output signal. The temperature sensing device output signal is a portion of the surgical device output data.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: ENOCARE, Inc.Inventors: Sanford D. Damasco, Thach Duong, Jawahar M. Ali, Paul W. Mikus, Jay J. Eum

Patent number: 6692487Abstract: A software module for a software controlled device for performing cryosurgical procedures on a treatment region with a cryosurgical probe. The software controlled device is of a type that is responsive to user input settings. The software module includes a temperature feedback control system which is adaptive to the external heat load of a treatment region and utilizes user input settings for determining an optimal rate of gas flow through a cryosurgical probe thereby enabling the user to precisely monitor and deliver a cryosurgical treatment.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2002Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Endocare, Inc.Inventors: Jawahar M. Ali, Sanford D. Damasco, Thach Duong

Patent number: 6694170Abstract: The computer system is capable of acquiring and displaying images of the prostate of a patient for assisting a surgeon in placing ablative elements in the prostate of the patient. The computer system is programmed with software capable of: 1) determining the dimensions of the prostate; and, 2) determining the dimensions and location of a treatment zone. The treatment zone is determined to include only one neurovascular bundle of the prostate and exclude the other neurovascular bundle of the prostate. The system utilizes the determined dimensions of the prostate and treatment zone for computing the number and location of ablative elements needed to treat the treatment zone while minimizing any adverse effect on the patient's sexual function.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2001Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Endocare, Inc.Inventors: Paul W. Mikus, Jay Eum, John C. Rewcastle, Jawahar M. Ali
