A comparative study of steel and plasma scalpel use in ovary operations is carried out in an experiment. 25 fertile female rabbits were operated on, in each one ovary was dissected by a steel scalpel, the other--by a plasma one. Sampling was performed on the 3-d, 7, 14, 21, 28-30-th day. At the relaparotomy of appendages operated on with the help of plasma scalpel, commissuring process was less prominent. Histological picture analysis has also shown plasma scalpel advantages--smaller tissue injuries, speeding up of wound healing process, drop in inflammatory reaction in response to influence.

Background: Seroma has been associated with some energy devices used in raising flaps during modified radical mastectomy. Perhaps, its occurrence might be reduced by determining the most effective technique for raising the flap. Hence, the wide array of energy devices available for mastectomy warrants a network meta-analysis for comparison to determine the most suitable for rseducing complications.

Background And Aims: Colorectal gas explosion (CGE) is an exceptional but potentially fatal complication of digestive endoscopy or surgery. The role played by bowel preparations and endoscopic or surgical devices in the risk of CGE is still unclear. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify risk factors for CGE.

Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) has the potential to completely remove biofilms from surfaces. The goal of this study is to employ the autofluorescence nature of bacterial biofilms to guide the removal of these biofilms using a CAP scalpel. biofilms, which produce a green fluorescence under 405 nm UV light, were grown on 12 chicken samples.

In minimally invasive surgery, the tendency for human tissue to adhere to the electrosurgical scalpel can complicate procedures and elevate the risk of medical accidents. Consequently, the development of an electrosurgical scalpel with an anti-sticking coating is critically important. Drawing inspiration from nature, we identified that the leaves of Setaria Virids exhibit exceptional non-stick properties.

Background: This study evaluated the difference in brain metabolite profiles between normothermia and hypothermia reaching 25°C in humans in vivo.
Methods: Thirteen patients who underwent thoracic aorta surgery under moderate hypothermia were prospectively enrolled. Plasma samples were collected simultaneously from the arteries and veins to estimate metabolite uptake or release.
