Abstract

The present invention relates to a cutting tool (44, 52) for soft tissue surgery, a system em¬ ploying such cutting tool and a method of cutting soft tissue. The cutting tool comprises a set of elongate members (46) suitable for simultaneously inserted into a soft tissue body. When inserted into the soft tissue body part, the cutting tool (44, 52) is suitable for defining a cutting plane with respect to said soft tissue body part, denaturizing, and in particular coagulating" and/or cauterizing the tissue in the vicinity of each elongate member (46) and/or between elongate members (46) and cutting tissue between at least some adjacent ones of said elongate members (46).
