Abstract

A cryosurgery apparatus is disclosed. The cryosurgery apparatus comprises an introducer (100) having a hollow (102) and a distal portion (106), the distal portion being sufficiently sharp so as to penetrate into a body. The hollow portion (102) of the introducer is designed for containing a plurality of cryoprobes (104) each of which is suited for cryoablation by means of deployment through the distal portion (106) of the introducer.
