1. A surgical device for removing tissue from a body organ comprising:
a surgical probe comprising a distal section attached to said probe via a non-flexible hinge, said distal section comprising a frontal cutting tool with frontal bone cutting capabilities, wherein a single motion or single action manipulation of said hinge sets an angle between the distal section and the probe as a result of the distal section pivoting on the hinge;
a rotary cutting blade for lateral cutting positioned in an upper part of the distal section; and
a telescopic tip configured to assume a closed retracted position and an open expanded position, and
wherein a bottom part of the distal section comprises a shield such that the tissue within the body organ under the bottom part is shielded from said rotary cutting blade, during operation.
