An integrated tool is provided, having a tissue-type sensor, for determining the tissue type at a near zone volume of a tissue surface, an a distance-measuring sensor, for determining the distance to an interface with another tissue type, for (i) confirming an existence of a clean margin of heathy tissue around a mailignant tumor, which is being removed, and (ii) determining the depth of the clean margin. The integrated tool may further include a position tracking device and an incision instrument. The soft tissue may be held within a fix frame, while the tumor is being removed. |
