Ultrasonic surgical aspiration for gynecologic disease
1Lahey Hitchcock Medical Center, Burlington, Mass.
Abstract:
Ultrasonic Surgical Aspiration (USA) is a technique which employs a hand-held instrument that selectively fragments and aspirates tissues of high-water content. The selectivity of the device permits preservation of underlying vital structures while the aspiration provides a tissue specimen for histologic analysis. Application of this device to neoplastic disease of the lower genital tract has been reported to provide durable success rates of 78% for conyloma acuminata and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) and 81% for vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN).Employment of USA in patients with advanced ovarian cancer has been shown to improve surgical cytoreduction without increasing blood loss or complication rates.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
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...
