Thermal effects of monopolar electrosurgery detected by real-time infrared thermography: an experimental appendectomy study
2020-01-02
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Purposes. Monopolar energy (ME) is routinely used in appendectomy. This study aimed to investigate the degree of lateral thermal spread generated by ME and to evaluate the thermal injury sustained by the close-lying tissues. Materials and methods. Appendectomy with a monopolar Maryland dissector was performed in 8 rabbits (at 30 and 60 W power settings). A high-resolution infrared came...
