Surgical method and system for performing the same

A system for performing a surgical procedure in a target biological tissue, the target biological tissue defining a target tissue exposed surface, the system comprising:

• a substantially helicoidal member, the helicoidal member defining an helicoidal member longitudinal axis and substantially longitudinally opposed helicoidal member proximal and distal ends;
• a substantially elongated guide positionable so as to be extending at least partially through the helicoidal member along the helicoidal member longitudinal axis, the guide defining a guide tip and a guide peripheral surface extending substantially longitudinally from the guide tip, the guide peripheral surface having a peripheral surface cooled portion covering at least part of the guide peripheral surface;
• a cooling subsystem operatively coupled to the guide for selectively cooling the peripheral surface cooled portion to a temperature sufficiently low to cause adhesion between the guide and the target biological tissue;
• a driver, the helicoidal member being mounted to the driver at the helicoidal member proximal end, the driver being operative for selectively simultaneously rotating the helicoidal member along the helicoidal member longitudinal axis and allowing the helicoidal member to advance along the guide in a distally oriented direction;
• wherein, in operation, when the cooling subsystem cools the peripheral surface cooled portion and the latter is positioned to abut against the target tissue exposed surface, the peripheral surface cooled portion adheres to the target tissue exposed surface so that the driver can operated to drive the helicoidal member into the target biological tissue by rotating the helicoidal member and advancing the helicoidal member along the guide with the peripheral surface cooled portion remaining fixed relative to the target biological tissue.
