Gefäßrekanalisation mit einem elektrischen Thermokauter-Katheter -In-vitro-Erfahrungen mit einem neuen Kathetersystem

1988

Recanalisation of arteriosclerotic occlusions by means of laser angioplasty, Kensey catheter and the "hot tip" catheter is undergoing early, successful clinical trials. The thermo-cautery catheter described in this paper uses the well known technique of cutting with high frequency electric currents in order to achieve vascular recanalisation. Seven attempts were made to recanalise occlusions at post mortem; four were successful, but perforation occurred in three. Histologically we found a narrow rim of carbonisation of tissues surrounded by a zone of homogenisation and a transitional zone.

A Direct Comparison of Seprafilm, Adept, Intercoat, and Spraygel for Adhesion Prophylaxis

2010

Background Commercially available agents for adhesion prophylaxis are legion but there is a lack of direct comparisons between them. Here we compare four of the most commonly used adhesion barriers against a control group in a clinically relevant rat model. Material and Methods Standardized lesions were created in Wistar rats using electrocautery and suturing. Subsequently, the experimental lesions were treated with Seprafilm (n = 30), Adept (n = 30), Intercoat (n = 30), Spraygel (n = 30), or no barrier (n = 30). The resulting adhesions were examined 14 d postoperatively. Results The mean area covered by adhesion was 77% in the control group, 46% in animals treated with Seprafilm, 54% in an…

Radiofrequency, High-frequency and electrocautery Treatments vs Partial Inferior Turbinotomy

2009

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To compare the microscopic and macroscopic effects of radiofrequency, high-frequency, and electrocautery therapies with partial inferior turbinotomy in the treatment of nasal obstruction caused by inferior turbinate hypertrophy. DESIGN: Nonrandomized controlled trial. SETTING: Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Genoa. PATIENTS: The study included 80 patients affected by nasal obstruction from hypertrophied inferior turbinates. INTERVENTIONS: Homogeneous patient groups A, B, C, and D underwent radiofrequency, high-frequency, and electrocautery treatments and partial inferior turbinotomy, respectively, to surgically reduce hypertrophied infer…
