Vasectomy in laboratory animals is a crucial step in the production of surrogate female mice. The surrogate mothers play a key role in successful embryo transfer, most important steps for the production of transgenic animal models, investigation of the preimplantation embryo development, and revitalization of cryopreserved strains. Abdominal and scrotal surgeries are common surgical proce...

INTRODUCTION Bowel injury during laparoscopic surgery is a rare but serious complication. A Bovie injury to the bowel can cause delayed perforation of the viscus, thus increasing the possibility of a preventable morbidity. Patients presenting with perforation peritonitis within 24 hours and up to 2 to 3 weeks after laparoscopic Bovie injury to the bowel have been reported in the literature. C...

This paper presents the opinion of Dr. Craig E. McCoy, DO FACOG FPMRS. Bovie Medical Corporation’s J-Plasma electrosurgical generators and hand pieces are indicated for the delivery of helium gas plasma to cut, coagulate, and ablate soft tissue during open and laparascopic surgical procedures. The safety and effectiveness of J-Plasma for the treatment of endometriosis has not been established. ...

Study background: Several techniques exist to sculpt nasal septal cartilage grafts for use in functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty, including the use of cold steel, Bovie electrosection and the Sonopet ultrasonic bone aspirator. This is the first investigation on the effects of these disparate tools on gross cellular integrity of sculpted cartilage. Methods: After IRB approval, extraneous nasal ...

by an electrode while an indi erent electrode (antenna) was attached to the patient. The indif ferent electrode allowed for the removal of the current entering the patient and channeled the electricity back into the electrosurgical unit. This prevented the buildup of static electricity so that electrical shocks were not caused to the patient or the operator. This recycling of current allowed th...

INTRODUCTION Endovascular repair of suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) requires customized fenestrated stent grafts when they involve visceral vessels such as the renal (clinically ignored here in this specific scenario), celiac, and superior mesenteric arteries. REPORT On table fenestrated endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (F-EVAR), using a parallel endograft approach, ...
