Area of Science:

Surgical Technology
Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

Ultrasonic surgery enables tissue-selective dissection but lacks hemostatic effect.
High-frequency surgery provides effective hemostasis but is largely non-selective in cutting tissue.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the synergistic potential of combining ultrasonic and high-frequency surgical techniques.
To enhance current surgical methods, particularly in endoscopic operations.

Main Methods:

Comparative analysis of ultrasonic surgery and high-frequency surgery functionalities.
Investigation into the combined application of both surgical modalities.

Main Results:

The combination unites the tissue-selective dissection of ultrasonic surgery with the hemostatic efficacy of high-frequency surgery.
This synergy improves surgical techniques and enables applications difficult with single methods.

Conclusions:

Combined ultrasonic and high-frequency surgery offers significant advantages over individual use.
Further research and development are needed to fully exploit the potential of combined surgical techniques.
