Sensor-Based Automated Detection of Electrosurgical Cautery States.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In computer-assisted surgery, it is typically required to detect when the tool comes into contact with the patient. In activated electrosurgery, this is known as the . By continuously tracking the electrosurgical tools' location using a navigation sy...

Retrospective Concomitant Nonrandomized Comparison of "Touch" Cautery Versus Athermal Dissection of the Prostatic Vascular Pedicles and Neurovascular Bundles During Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

European urology
BACKGROUND: During robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), the use of electrocautery near the neurovascular bundles (NVBs) frequently results in thermal injury to the cavernous nerves. The cut and "touch" monopolar cautery technique has been s...
