This study demonstrates the feasibility of performing electrocoagulation diathermy with intracervical infiltration of local anaesthetic for precancerous lesions of the cervix. A technique suitable for office procedure without need of any supplementary analgesia is described; 200 patients were treated in this fashion with results indicating the ability to obtain high primary cure rates with low morbidity similar to those previously obtained with general anaesthesia.

Colorectal Surgery Unit, Central Defense Gómez Ulla Hospital, Madrid, Spain.
Introduction: Our study aimed to compare the midline abdominal incision with scalpel and diathermy.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane were searched through January 2024 following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO, ID: CRD42024516771), and only randomized controlled trials were included. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test and the I heterogeneity index.

Background: Abdominoplasty, an emerging surgical procedure worldwide, associated with complications, as seroma, infection, and hematoma. This systematic review and meta-analysis compare the outcomes of abdominoplasty procedures performed using a scalpel versus a diathermocoagulation device (diathermy monopolar electrocautery), aiming to find a safer approach with fewer complications.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search in November 2023 using PubMed, Ovid Medline, and Ovid Chocrane databases.
Vesical Haemangioma in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome: A Clinical Case Report.

Urology, Wye Valley NHS Trust, Hereford, GBR.
Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (KTW) syndrome, a rare vascular disorder, often presents with cutaneous capillary malformations and soft tissue hypertrophy. However, urinary tract involvement in the form of vesical haemangiomas is a seldom-encountered clinical condition. We present a case of a 37-year-old male with KTW syndrome who exhibited recurrent gross haematuria, prompting clinical evaluation.

Turku University Hospital, Turku, Finland.
Electrocautery is an option for skin incision for the neck, abdominal or inguinal surgery, but is not generally used for hand surgery. The aim of this study was to clarify whether electrocautery skin incision would be beneficial in open carpal tunnel release (OCTR). A total of 16 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome underwent skin incision for OCTR using either a scalpel ( = 9) or a microdissection diathermy needle ( = 7).
