An Unmodulated Very-Low-Voltage Electrosurgical Technology Creates Predictable and Ultimate Tissue Coagulation: From Experimental Data to Clinical Use.

Conclusions. The voltage of the VLV mode consistently stays under 200 V, resulting in tissue coagulation with minimal vaporization or carbonization. Therefore, the VLV mode produces more predictable tissue coagulation and minimizes undesirable collateral thermal tissue effects, enabling nerve- and function-preserving surgery. The use of VLV mode through better understanding of minimally invasive way of using electrosurgery may lead to better surgical outcomes.
