Comparat ıve assessment of thermal ınjury ınduced by bıpolar electrocautery systems ın a porcıne model

CONCLUSION: Thermal damage is induced to varying extents by all bipolar systems. In this porcine model and under the conditions tested, bipolar cauterization with the TRIOwand resulted in less depth and decreased mean area of injury. Further studies are needed to characterize the injury caused by different bipolar systems with other settings and under surgical conditions in humans.PMID:33948316 | PMC:PMC8088527 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_770_2020
