Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Electrosurgery presents potential complications in tissue cutting and coagulation.
  • Ultrasonically activated scalpels provide an alternative with a piezoelectric transducer-based working principle.

Purpose of the Study:

Main Methods:

  • A study involving six patients with abdominal cysts treated laparoscopically between October 2000 and June 2004.
  • Procedures included laparoscopic abdominal cyst fenestration and one case of concurrent laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Main Results:

  • Average patient age was 40.8 years.
  • Average operative time was 40 minutes, with an average hospital stay of 2.8 days.
