Abstract
A minimally invasive surgical instrument combines a cautery tool and knife tool for performing operative actions, including tissue destruction, coagulation, dissection, and transection. An elongated body has a channel extending in a longitudinal direction to a distal end. The knife tool is situated in the channel and movable along the channel. The cautery tool includes a conductor electrically coupled to a cautery tip. The cautery tip includes a resistive element with a through opening in axial alignment with the channel. The knife tool has a retracted position in which a blade of the knife tool is unexposed, and a fully extended position in which the blade is exposed distal to the through opening.
