Electrosurgery

Electrosurgery uses a medical device resembling a pen that produces a high-frequency direct current, creating sufficient thermal conductivity to break or "cut" the incision in the fabric, as well as tightening the cut (electrician) and reducing blood loss. Electrosurgery is used in hospitals, hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers for procedures that include gynecological surgery, dermatological procedures and other surgical applications.

Why do I do an electrical surgery?


Electrosurgery has several advantages over normal operations. As the cuts are made, the fabric is cooled down, reducing blood loss and time spent on cross-linking blood vessels. As a result, the duration of anesthesia is reduced. The duration of recovery is faster, and postoperative pain is less. As a result, more procedures can be carried out in outpatient settings in the offices of doctors or ambulatory surgical centers, and not in inpatient operating rooms.

Outpatient procedures have the added benefit of lowering costs as the patient can recover in the comfort of their family.

How is electrosurgery different from traditional surgery?

Instead of a surgeon who uses a scalpel to cut a surgical site, he or she will use a pen that resembles a pen. The pen passes high-frequency electric current, which generates enough heat to break the cells along the line of the autopsy. Since it "cuts", the edge of the site will be prepared.

Electrosurgery involves additional equipment and protocols for operating rooms to provide patient and medical security. The patient should be protected by a grounding stand to avoid shocks and unintentional burns. To prevent the occurrence of smoke caused by the formation of a cut, it is necessary to prevent the block to avoid the possible effects of toxins and mutagens. Flammable substances such as anesthetic gases and alcohol should be suitably contained to avoid sparking. It is also important that the living electrodes should never touch the draperies, sheets and sponges. Additional attention should be given also in an atmosphere enriched with oxygen.

Who uses electrosurgery?


Patients undergoing vasodilatation, rich areas of the body, such as head and chest, benefit from reduced blood loss and shorter time during anesthetics provided by electrosurgery. With this innovative method, pain reduction and faster recovery were reported.

Other procedures that are suitable for electrosurgery include gynecological operations, such as pipe dressing or removal of cervical lesions, as well as dermatological procedures, including the removal of malignant workings.

Surgeons also have an improved field of vision, allowing them to observe overgrowth, vascular deformities, or damage to the internal organs that flow through the bloodstream. They spend less time sewing the site, allowing the patient to get to the recovery room more quickly.

Where are the electrosurgical materials used?

Electrosurgical accessories are used in hospital operating, outpatient surgical centers and doctors' offices.
