System for and method of performing sonasurgery

A system for performing a surgical procedure, the system comprising:

• a coordinate system established by a minimum of three reference markers placed or identified on a patient, the coordinate system configured to create a uniform reference point for the surgical procedure;
• a single surgical port created in the patient proximate to a target volume;
• at least one probe configured to be inserted at least partially into the single surgical port, the probe including a shaft and at least one tool at a distal end thereof, the at least tool including i) at least one sensor configured to provide at least one image of the target volume of the patient using noninvasive technology and ii) at least one technology selected from the group consisting of tissue alteration, tactile feedback and positional verification, the proximal end of the shaft being operatively connected to at least one motor to permit manipulation of at least one of a position and an orientation of the tool;
• and
• at least one controller configured to i) integrate, prior to commencing the surgical procedure, the at least one image from the sensor with the coordinate system as part of a treatment plan, ii) identify a location on the patient to create the single surgical port to provide access the target volume, iii) manipulate at least a portion of the probe to treat the target volume as directed by the treatment plan, iv) track the tool in real-time, and v) display the position of the tool on a screen.
