Prevention and management of bleeding in thyroid surgery.
Gabriele Materazzi,Carlo Enrico Ambrosini,Lorenzo Fregoli,Luigi De Napoli,Gianluca Frustaci,Valeria Matteucci,Piermarco Papini,Sohail Bakkar,Paolo Miccoli +8 more
TL;DR: All energy devices have been shown to significantly decrease operative times without increasing costs or complications and adjunctive hemostatic agents have shown equivalent differences when added to standard methods from a clinically significant perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual dysfunction following rectal cancer surgery
TL;DR: There is no evidence to date in favor of any surgical approach (open vs laparoscopic vs robotic), and standardized diagnostic tools should be routinely used to prospectively assess sexual function in patients undergoing rectal surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimally invasive esophagectomy and radical lymph node dissection without recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis.
Koji Otsuka,Masahiko Murakami,Satoru Goto,Tomotake Ariyoshi,Takeshi Yamashita,Akira Saito,Masahiro Kohmoto,Rei Kato,Alan Kawarai Lefor,Takeshi Aoki +9 more
TL;DR: The native tissue preservation technique may reduce the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after minimally invasive esophagectomy with radical lymph node dissection.

The impact of the ultrasonic, bipolar and integrated energy devices in the adrenal gland surgery: literature review and our experience
R. Patrone,Claudio Gambardella,Roberto Maria Romano,Clarizia Gugliemo,Chiara Offi,Claudia Andretta,Antonio Vitiello,Ernesto Tartaglia,Luigi Flagiello,Alessandra Conzo,Claudio Mauriello,Giovanni Conzo +11 more
TL;DR: According to the data, a responsible use of advanced energy devices can improve surgical outcomes guarantying a cost savings and patient’s satisfaction, while hospitalization time was superimposable in all groups.

Energy Based Vessel Sealing Devices in Thyroid Surgery: A Systematic Review to Clarify the Relationship with Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injuries.
Mario Pacilli,Nicola Tartaglia,Alberto Gerundo,Giovanna Pavone,Alberto Fersini,Antonio Ambrosi +5 more
TL;DR: The energy-based vessel sealing devices in study, represent a safe and efficient alternative to the traditional clamp-and-tie hand technique in the thyroidal surgery scenario, granting a reduction in operating time while not increasing RNL injury rates.

A novel technique for parenchymal division during hepatectomy
TL;DR: A simple technique to achieve rapid safe parenchymal division of the liver during hepatectomy resulting in minimal blood loss is described.
Journal Article
Laparoscopic splenectomy using the harmonic scalpel.
TL;DR: Use of the harmonic scalpel and a posterolateral approach is employed to improve hemostasis, ease of dissection, and decrease operative time in patients undergoing laparoscopic splenectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the efficacy and surgical outcomes of total thyroidectomy between harmonic scalpel versus ligasure.
Brian Hung-Hin Lang,Brian Hung-Hin Lang,Sze-How Ng,Lincoln L. H. Lau,Benjamin J. Cowling,Kai Pun Wong +5 more
TL;DR: Compared with LS, using HS in TT significantly reduced the volume of blood loss and operating time and there was no significant difference in the rate of complications, overall morbidity, and hospital stay between the two devices.

The use of FOCUS Harmonic scalpel compared to conventional haemostasis (knot and tie ligation) for thyroid surgery: a prospective randomized study
TL;DR: The Harmonic scalpel represents a safe alternative to conventional haemostasis in thyroid surgery, allowing for a significant reduction of operative time, blood loss and hospitalization, and the rate of complication demonstrated no significant difference among the two groups.
