The invention relates to a surgical apparatus, in particular a navigation probe for localizing and treating lesions in a brain, comprising:

The invention relates to a surgical apparatus, in particular a navigation probe for localizing and treating lesions in a brain, comprising: a body member () having an anterior end (), a posterior end () and at least one groove () extending for a particular length in a longitudinal direction of the body member () between said anterior end () and said posterior end (); a saddle () adapted to securely hold a medical device, the saddle () being placed on said body member () and having at least one grip () that extends into said at least one groove () so as to mount the saddle () on the body member () moveable in said longitudinal direction; and a means for maneuvering said body member ().

The invention elates to a device () for connecting hollow organs (), which device comprises various elements that are held by holding devices. Said holding devices can be laterally displaced on a slide rail (), rotated or detached and put on and their position can be secured if required. The traverse () is used as a stop for the axial alignment of the holding devices. The two holding devices () carry clamping devices for retaining and, if required, clamping off the hollow organ ends (). The holding devices () carry fittings (). The two hollow organ ends () to be connected are pushed through the fittings to such an extent as to project over the fitting ends by a defined extent. The ends of the hollow organs are then turned up by the ends of the fittings using two turn-up devices (). The holding device () in the center holds an additional fitting () into which the two fittings () are inserted with the turned-up hollow organ ends and secured.
