Objective: We investigated the safety of a novel interlobar fissure division technique using the da Vinci vessel sealing system in robot-assisted pulmonary lobectomy.
Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent robotic pulmonary lobectomy with node dissection for primary lung cancer between 2018 and 2020 were reviewed. The inclusion criteria were fulfilled by 111 patients, whose perioperative factors and postoperative results were compared with those previously reported. Furthermore, the new robotic lung interlobar division technique using the da Vinci vessel sealing system without a robotic stapler was evaluated in patients with low-grade incomplete fissure. We considered the Craig and Walker classification of lung fissures grades 1 and 2 as a good adaptation for the vessel sealing system interlobar fissure division.
Results: The vessel sealing system group had shorter mean operative and console times ( = .03 and = .01, respectively) and lesser median intraoperative blood loss (20 mL vs 50 mL; = .01). The vessel sealing system group had lower surgical complication rates (2.2% vs 20.0%; = .01). The incidence of persistent postoperative air leak was lower (0% vs 10.0%; = .06), and fewer robotic stapler cartridges were used during surgery (3.4 vs 5.6; < .001) in the vessel sealing system group than in the stapler group.
Conclusions: We report the safety of using the da Vinci vessel sealing system as an alternative to the use of robotic staples for interlobar fissure division in robot-assisted pulmonary lobectomy. This technique seems easy and feasible though limited to the low-grade incomplete fissure.

Importance: Electrosurgical vessel sealing devices for vaginal hysterectomy have demonstrated reduced postoperative pain. This modality, however, has not been evaluated in patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic reconstruction.
Objective: The aim of the study was to describe postoperative pain levels utilizing the LigaSure vessel sealing device for vaginal hysterectomy in patients undergoing major reconstructive surgery.

Surgical cutting with electrosurgical tools facilitates tissue dissection and vessel sealing, preventing blood loss. The extent of tissue necrosis due to temperature elevations is dependent on the cutting technique, device design, coating properties and power settings, but the influence of these parameters is not fully understood. Here we conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of thermal damage comparing (1) manual user-controlled and robotic electrosurgical cutting approaches for (2) varying electrodes and coatings, and power settings.

Promoting wound nerve regeneration and synchronously initiating angiogenesis are critical factors in the healing process of diabetic wounds. However, existing research on diabetic wounds mainly focuses on angiogenesis, bacterial infection and reactive oxygen species, often failing to coordinate neurogenesis and angiogenesis. To coordinate the symbiosis of nerves and blood vessels in the diabetic wounds, we successfully designed a multifunctional chitosan (CS)-based sponges by regulating the structure of CS specifically for diabetic wound healing.

Article Synopsis
- - Drug-eluting therapies, especially the Eluvia stent, have significantly reduced restenosis rates in treating peripheral artery disease, but concerns over aneurysm formation following their use are emerging.
- - An 80-year-old man developed a giant aneurysm 27 months after receiving the Eluvia stent for a blocked artery, which was identified through ultrasound and treated with endovascular-covered stents.
- - The presence of a 'low echoic area' near the stent is a common ultrasound finding after Eluvia implantation; while typically benign for two years, it can lead to serious complications like aneurysms due to factors such as overlapping stents and mechanical stress.

Background: Bipolar vessel-sealing devices (BVSD) have been used for muscle transection in canine limb amputations; however, a retrospective study of their use, and particularly the short-term complications, has not yet been reported.
Objectives: To describe the use of a BVSD as the main method for muscle transection in canine limb amputations and to report the incidence of short-term incisional complications following these surgeries.
Animals And Procedure: Medical records of dogs undergoing limb amputations using a BVSD from January 2017 to December 2018 were reviewed for demographics, preoperative findings, intraoperative complications, and short-term outcomes.
