""OUTER SPACE"" SURGERY

The video discusses a new surgical instrument developed in Britain that operates at extremely low temperatures, similar to those in outer space. This device, used in Birmingham, is effective in eye surgeries, such as cataract removal and retina repair. It is versatile, also applicable in brain surgery, skin cancer treatment, and wart removal. The temperature of the probe is precisely controlled by the surgeon, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

What is the principle behind the new surgical instrument developed in Britain?

• It relies on chemical reactions to remove tissues.

• It operates at low temperatures similar to outer space.

• It uses electrical currents to perform surgery.

• It uses high temperatures to cut through tissues.

What is the primary function of the stainless steel probe used in eye operations?

• To heat the eye tissues for better visibility.

• To cool the eye tissues to prevent bleeding.

• To remove cataracts or fix a detached retina.

• To inject medication directly into the eye.

How is the temperature at the end of the probe controlled during surgery?

• It is automatically adjusted by the device.

• The surgeon manually controls it.

• It is controlled by a computer algorithm.

• The temperature is fixed and cannot be changed.

Which of the following is NOT an application of the low temperature surgical instrument?

• Brain surgery

• Skin cancer treatment

• Heart surgery

• Wart removal

What is a mundane application of the low temperature surgical instrument mentioned in the transcript?

• Removing tattoos

• Fixing broken bones

• Treating acne

• Removing warts
