| Popis: | Coagulation and vaporization of tissue are techniques applied in pelviscopic surgery in order to achieve hemostasis as well as cut and destroy endometriotic implants. An animal experimental study was devised to show if there is a difference in the incidence of adhesions after vaporization of equal-sized areas of the anterior abdominal wall of the rat compared to coagulation of equal-sized areas. A similar depth of the lesions was achieved by repeating the vaporization procedure. The rate of adhesions was significantly lower (P less than 0.001, Chi2-test) post-coagulation, using a biopolar high frequency current or post-endocoagulation than post-vaporization. The surface vaporization of tissue, for example endometriotic implants, as produced by laser is to be viewed critically as regards the higher incidence of adhesions after vaporization compared with coagulation. |
