Objective: To compare the effects of monopolar and bipolar energy sources on efficacy of both techniques and possible complications in bladder cancer patients undergoing repeat Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (re-TURBT).
Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: University of Health Science, Izmir Bozyaka Research and Training Hospital, Turkiye, from 2019 to 2021.
Methodology: Patients undergoing re-TURBT were inducted. Patients with residual tumour at initial TURBT, recurrent bladder cancer and patients with a non-urothelial pathology report in initial TURBT were excluded. The primary outcome was the complication ratio of the TURBT which were obturator reflex, bladder wall perforation, coagulum retention, fever, and TUR syndrome. The secondary outcome was the efficacy of the TURBT procedure, such as complete tumour resection, adequate sampling of deep muscle tissue, and sampling of qualified tissues without any thermal damage.
Results: One hundred and twenty-three patients were enrolled; 75 patients in re-M-TURBT group and 48 patients in re-B-TURBT group were analysed. Demographic and tumour characteristics, and complication rates according to the Clavien classification, were similar between the two groups (p = 0.302). The catheterisation time was shorter significantly in the bipolar re-TURBT group (median 4 vs. 3 days, respectively, p = 0.025).
Conclusion: Monopolar and Bipolar energy sources are techniques that can be used safely in re-TURBT in terms of both appropriate pathology sampling (adequate muscle tissue sampling, cautery artifact) and complication (obturator reflex, hyponatraemia, haemoglobin decrease, bleeding) rates.
Key Words: Bladder Cancer, Monopolar, Bipolar, TURBT, Obtrator reflex, Complications.

Background: The common techniques used in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) are hydrodissection (tumescent dissection) and electrocautery. We hypothesized that bipolar scissors (diathermy scissors) would improve surgical outcomes in mastectomy.
Methods: We prospectively compared 50 patients undergoing NSM using the bipolar scissor technique to retrospective data from patients who had previously undergone NSM with hydrodissection (n = 50) or electrocautery (n = 50).

Surface electromyography () is useful for studying muscle function and controlling prosthetics, but crosstalk from nearby muscles often limits its effectiveness. High-density surface EMG () improves spatial resolution, allowing for the isolation of in the densely packed forearm muscles. This study assessed for localizing and evaluated the impact of spatial filters on crosstalk reduction.

Method We conducted a retrospective study to compare patients who underwent bipolar TURP with those who underwent monopolar TURP between 2017 and 2023. The collected data included demographics, age, history of urethral stricture, prostate size, operation duration, and postoperative complications, such as blood transfusion, transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome, and other relevant data points.

Background: Femoral neck fractures in elderly individuals cause significant morbidity, and their management is particularly challenging in rural areas where healthcare access is limited. The recommended treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients with poor mobility, cognitive dysfunction and multiple comorbidities is a hemiarthroplasty, which can be performed with various implants, including monopolar implants like Austin Moore prosthesis (AMP) and bipolar prosthesis (BP). In developing countries like India, rural areas often have constraints with healthcare resources.

Purpose: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been performed for various brain disorders. However, spinal surgery in patients with DBS was been approached with cautious trepidation due to risk of thermal brain injury and device damage from coagulation devices during surgery. This study presents the cases of successful spinal surgery performed after DBS implantation.
