Background: Choosing the correct surgical staple height is dependent on knowledge of specific tissue thickness and compressibility. The purpose of this study was to measure the thickness of cadaveric human lung tissue.
Materials And Methods: Between December 2012 and February 2013, whole lungs were procured from 12 donors.
The primary objective of this review was to assess the incidence of intraoperative staple line leaks and bleeds during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). A literature search of MEDLINE®, EMBASE™, and Biosis from January 2010 to November 2014, plus secondary citations extending to 2008, identified 16 relevant articles. For LSG, the incidence of intraoperative leaks and bleeds was as high as 3.

To evaluate its use in gastrectomy, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing the Harmonic scalpel to conventional techniques in gastrectomy for patients with gastric cancer. International databases were searched without language restrictions for comparisons in open or laparoscopic gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy.

- This study compared two advanced bipolar devices, ENSEAL(®) G2 Tissue Sealers and LigaSure™ Blunt Tip, focusing on their compression uniformity, vessel sealing strength, and operational consistency.
- In the testing, ENSEAL(®) showed significantly better average compression values and maintained pressure better at the jaws' distal end compared to LigaSure™, along with higher and more consistent burst pressure results.
- Additionally, ENSEAL(®) had notably lower tissue sticking incidents (1.39%) compared to LigaSure™ (13.3%), highlighting its superior performance in these metrics.
