Abstract:
The authors present their own experience with the use of a hot-jet coagulator in resections of the liver. The principle is based on contact-free transmission of thermal energy by means of a current of hot air to achieve haemostasis and tissue coagulation. They mention the use of the apparatus in animal experiments and in resections of the liver in nine patients. They recommend the procedure as one possibility of haemostasis where conventional methods do not affect haemostasis.
