Abstract:
Preventive hemostasis is extremely important in endoscopic surgery. Ultrasonic dissectors are used very often. We tested the occlusion safety of bipolar forceps and ultrasonic dissector for porcine vessels. Thermographic videos showed maximum temperature up to 200 degrees C when using one ultrasonic dissector. The lateral damage zone in vivo and in vitro measured between 2 and 6 mm.

Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
