[Ultrasonic scalpel in thyroid surgery].

Chirurgia italiana, 2003
In order to evaluate the harmonic scalpel during "open" thyroid surgery, a prospective randomized study was performed using the device versus the traditional procedure. One hundred and forty-two multinodular goiter patients were selected for total thyroidectomy and subdivided into two gender- and age-matched groups.

Clinical application of an ultrasonically activated scalpel in neurosurgery

Neurological Research, 2001
Ultrasonically activated scalpel (UAS) is a surgical device utilizing ultrasonic energy to cut and coagulate tissues simultaneously. The actions and features of UAS are considerably different from those of conventional ultrasonic cavitational aspirators (UCA) that have been used frequently in the neurosurgical field.

Use of the ultrasonic dissecting scalpel in laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Surgical Endoscopy, 2000
We evaluated the use of the ultrasonically activated (harmonic) scalpel (HS) in the performance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).A total of 282 consecutive patients, 64 of whom had acute cholecystitis at the time of surgery, underwent LC using HS dissection. Indications for surgery included chronic pain (180 cases), episodes of acute cholecystitis (

Utility of the Ultrasonic Scalpel in Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2012
The purpose of this study was to describe our technique of bilateral mandibular distraction for micrognathia and to highlight the ultrasonic scalpel as an alternative to conventional saws in performing osteotomies for mandibular distraction osteogenesis.

Thoracoscopic Limited Pericardial Resection With an Ultrasonic Scalpel

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998
We employed an ultrasonic scalpel, the Harmonic Scalpel (Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Cincinnati, OH), for thoracoscopic limited pericardial resection in consecutive 10 patients with massive pericardial effusion or pericarditis. The mean operative time was 27 minutes for pericardial effusion.

Easy Harvesting of Radial Artery With Ultrasonically Activated Scalpel

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998
The radial artery was proposed and then abandoned as a coronary artery bypass graft in the 1970s. Development of new pharmacologic antispasmodic agents and minimally traumatic harvesting techniques has led to a revival of the use of the radial artery in coronary artery bypass surgery.

[Ultrasonic scalpel].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2010
An ultrasonic scalpel is now an essential item for cardiac surgery, especially coronary artery bypass surgery. It has 2 different physiologic mechanisms called cavitation fragmentation and protein coagulation. In 1998 we developed a new technique for harvesting internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) safely and simply in a completely skeletonized fashion by ...

Nephron Sparing Surgery with the Ultrasonic Scalpel

Urologia Journal, 2004
Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment renal cell carcinoma. In the last 15 years a better understanding of tumor biology and the early diagnosis permitted an evolution of the surgical treatment towards a minimal invasive approach by nephron-sparing surgery.

A micro ultrasonic scalpel with sensing function

IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics, 2003, 2004
A micro ultrasonic scalpel based on a piezoelectric film transducer can cut very soft and small objects with slight deformation and monitor the vibration condition during operation. The micro ultrasonic scalpel has longitudinal vibration component and also lateral vibration component for effective cutting performance.

[The application and development of ultrasonic scalpel].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi, 2006
Ultrasonic scalpel has the advantages of less bleeding, less damage to surrounding tissue, early healing, etc. The applications of ultrasound in medical surgery include incision and hemostasis, phacoemulsification, tumor aspiration, fat aspiration, and bone cutting. In this paper, the principles, development, characteristic, key technology and clinical
