Abstract:
Monopolar and bipolar application techniques of high-frequency surgery are compared concerning safety regulations, functional and energetic aspects and aspects of application. The availability of newly developed bipolar and multipolar surgical instruments for cutting and coagulating without instrument change and at low high-frequency power opens up a new dimension in laparoscopic assisted electrosurgery. The well-known risks of using monopolar instruments in laparoscopy have been eliminated with the new instrumentation presented.
