    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Technology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Urology

    Background:

    • The Cavitational Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) is an advanced surgical tool.
    • It enables precise tissue removal with a controlled, selective approach.
    • Its design facilitates sparing delicate vascular and ductal structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness and application of the CUSA in surgical procedures.
    • To assess the benefits of CUSA in removing parenchymal tissue.
    • To explore the potential of CUSA in urological surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of laboratory and clinical experiences with CUSA.
    • Documentation of CUSA application in renal surgery (canine and clinical settings).

    Main Results:

    • CUSA provides outstanding selective tissue removal, preserving vital structures.
    • Utilization of CUSA leads to increased surgical visibility.
    • Reduced intraoperative bleeding and shorter operating times are observed with CUSA use.

    Conclusions:

    • The CUSA is a valuable surgical instrument for precise tissue ablation.
    • Its application in urology is promising but requires further investigation.
    • Future studies will determine the definitive role of CUSA in urological armamentarium.
