Aim the work: The aim this study is to evaluate effect sealing a ligasure comparison closure ligature regard outcome complications. Patients Methods: On 60 patients with uncomplicated acute chronic appendicitis, prospective will be car...

BACKGROUND Doppler guidance in hemorrhoidal surgery has become more frequent during the past decade. The method is mainly studied in nonrandomized trials. Data from randomized controlled trials are lacking. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare early and midterm results of transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization with anopexy to open hemorrhoidectomy. DESIGN, SETTINGS, PATIENTS, AND ...

PURPOSE Energy-based surgical devices (ESDs) are critical for maintaining hemostasis during laparoscopy; however, there are no studies that have evaluated the function of ESDs under different physiologic conditions. We evaluated the effect of intraluminal vessel content on bursting pressure (BP) after ligation with two ESDs: the Harmonic ACE and the LigaSure V. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bursting ...

BACKGROUND Hemorrhoidectomy is considered by many to be a contaminated operation that requires antibiotic prophylaxis to lower the incidence of surgical site infection. In reality, little evidence exists to either support or refute the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in this setting. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine if antibiotic prophylaxis is associated with reduced incidence of postop...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Our aim was to show that bladder cuff excision and distal ureterectomy can be safely performed by using the LigaSure device during robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy. METHODS A 60-year-old man presented with gross hematuria. He was diagnosed with upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) on the left side and was scheduled for robot-assisted ...

This research was aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of Ligasure vessel sealing system combined with total abdominal hysterectomy in the treatment of cervical carcinoma. Ninety-six patients with cervical carcinoma admitted to the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of our hospital between October 2013 and October 2015 were selected. All patients received total abdominal hysterectom...
