Background Instruments that apply energy to cut, coagulate, and dissect tissue with minimal
bleeding facilitate surgery. The improper use of energy devices may increase patient …

Background Adequate hemostatic techniques are essential for optimal intra-and
postoperative results. A number of different hemostatic techniques and devices have been …

Purpose: The merits of laparoscopic sealing devices have been poorly characterized. The
purpose of this study was to compare two bipolar sealing devices [LigaSure V (LS) and …

Background Hemostasis is a central issue in laparoscopic surgery. Ultrasonic scissors and
bipolar clamps are commonly used, with known advantages with each technique. Methods …

Low-temperature plasma (LTP) treatment promotes blood clot formation by stimulation of the
both platelet aggregation and coagulation factors. However, the appearance of a membrane …

Objective: To compare surgical times and perioperative complication rates of single portal
access and 2‐portal laparoscopic ovariectomy (LapOVE) in dogs using a bipolar vessel …

The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a pathway different from the
natural blood coagulation process involved in the plasma‐induced activation of platelets …

Introduction: We evaluated and compared five currently available energy-based vessel
sealing devices to assess typical surgical metrics. Methods: We tested Caiman 5 (C5) …

Background The aim of the present study was to test the safety and feasibility of the dorsal
approach endoscopic thyroidectomy procedure in a prospective trial in humans, after the …

Technological advances in thyroid surgery have rapidly increased in recent decades.
