Hepatectomy using the coagulating shears type of ultrasonically activated scalpel.
Since the ultrasonically activated scalpel (UAS) incorporates multiple functions, we have used it for hepatectomies. The present study discusses the noteworthy points and problems of use, and shows initial results. Intraoperative ultrasonography is an important tool for comprehending the positional relationship between the plane of division and the main blood vessels. It allows initial adjustme...
متن کاملUse of ultrasonically activated shears improves the safety of pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
OBJECTIVE To study whether the use of ultrasonically activated shears (UAS) would improve the safety of pancreatojejunal anastomosis after pancreaticoduodenectomy. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING University teaching hospital. PATIENTS Seventy patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between April 1997 and May 2001. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Leakage of pancreatojejunal anastomosis a...
متن کاملUltrasonically activated chemotherapeutic drug delivery in a rat model.
Systemic delivery of anticancer agents is accompanied by many unwanted side effects that can be mitigated by encapsulation of antineoplastic agents. However, encapsulation necessitates a technique for controlled delivery to the cancerous tissue. We have developed a novel drug delivery system that releases drug from stabilized micelles upon application of low-frequency ultrasound and that demons...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Bowel Resection: A Comparison of Three Ultrasonically Activated Devices
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To compare resection time and collateral thermal damage of 3 currently available ultrasonically activated devices in laparoscopic small bowel surgery. METHODS AutoSonix, SonoSurg, and UltraCision were compared in laparoscopic small bowel mesentery resection in a porcine model. A resection was defined as 12 endarcade arteries supplying the intended bowel segment. Vsse...
متن کاملSpontaneous shears in smectic elastomers.
We model the spontaneous elastic shear deformations of smectic elastomers as they make the thermal transition between the A and C phases. Tilt of the director is accompanied by shear. Unlike nematic elastomers where spontaneous elongation is associated with changes in the magnitude of order, spontaneous distortion in smectics is instead shear and is associated with rotation of the director of t...
