The potential impact of nanotechnology in the field of urology is broad with diagnostic and therapeutic benefits that have only recently begun to be explored. Application of nanotechnology principles to tissue and vessel sealing during laparoscopic procedures may reduce associated thermal injury and inflammatory response. We report our initial experience using the EnSeal Tissue Sealing and Hemostasis System during laparoscopic nephrectomy and discuss its potential advantages and disadvantages compared with those of contemporary technologies.
纳米技术在泌尿外科领域的潜在影响广泛,其诊断和治疗益处直到最近才开始得到探索。将纳米技术原理应用于腹腔镜手术中的组织和血管封闭,可能会减少相关的热损伤和炎症反应。我们报告了在腹腔镜肾切除术中使用EnSeal组织封闭和止血系统的初步经验,并讨论了与当代技术相比其潜在的优缺点。
