Experience With Ultrasound Scissors and Blades (UltraCision) in Open and Laparoscopic Liver Resection

Abstract

The advantages over other resection techniques are limited heat and smoke generation and the lack of current flow through the patient. The handling and coagulation and cutting quality of the UltraCision appeared satisfactory and safe. The new instrument can be recommended for laparoscopic and open resections of the liver.
