Abstract

The ultrasonic Harmonic scalpel has demonstrated clinical and surgical benefits in dissection and coagulation. To evaluate its use in gastrectomy, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing the Harmonic scalpel to conventional techniques in gastrectomy for patients with gastric cancer. International databases were searched without language restrictions for comparisons in open or laparoscopic gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy. The meta-analysis used a random-effects model for all outcomes; continuous variables were analyzed for mean differences and dichotomous variables were analyzed for risk ratios. Sensitivity analyses were conducted for study quality, type of conventional technique, and imputation of study results. Ten studies (N=935) met the inclusion criteria. Compared with conventional hemostatic techniques, the Harmonic scalpel demonstrated significant reductions in operating time (−27.5 min; P

Abstract

Objective(s): The ultrasonic advanced energy study device (AH device) is the first surgical device indicated to seal vessels up to and including 7mm using ultrasonic technology alone. This study assesses clinical experience during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) using advanced hemostasis mode (AHM)., Study Design: This was a prospective, non-randomized, single arm, multicenter, observational study which did not modify or influence current surgeon technique for elective TLH for benign disease. Each surgeon assessed hemostasis, defined as the hemostatic transection of the uterine vasculature (left/right) with at least one use of the AH device in AHM without the use of additional hemostatic measures other than the AH device. Patients were followed for 4-6 weeks after surgery. Vessel sealing performance was quantitatively assessed for transection and sealing of the uterine artery (UA), the uterine pedicle (UP; defined as cases where the UA could not be 'isolated') and the ovarian pedicle (OP) (when indicated). Adverse events (AEs) related to the AH device or procedures were collected., Results: Forty patients underwent the procedure. Mean age was 49 years and mean body mass index was 28kg/m(2). Mean surgical duration was 88min. None required conversion to open procedure. Using only the AH device, hemostasis was achieved and maintained in 119 (94.4%) transections (both left and right sides of the UA/UP and OP). Additional hemostasis was achieved in 5 patients using conventional bipolar (4) or monopolar (1) energy. No patient required a blood transfusion postoperatively. Only one adverse event of pain was considered to be related to the use of the ultrasonic AH device during this study., Conclusion: These results support that the AH device with its AHM has clinical utility in sealing named vessels in TLH. The new algorithm to deliver energy in the AHM has the potential to reduce the need for additional hemostatic devices or products as well as the potential to reduce the need for multiple instrument changes during surgery., (Copyright © 2016 The Author(s).
