Water jets have been used in many areas of surgery. Recently a new surgical debridement device was launched onto the market - VersajetTM. VersajetTM is a unique hydrosurgical device that uses a precise jet of water to simultaneously hold, cut, and remove devitalized or necrotic tissue. This paper describes our experience with ten patients comparing Weck knives with the newly designed hydrosurgical device when debriding burn wounds. The patients' age ranged from 27 to 60 yr (average, 37.8 yr) and the burn wounds treated were between 3 and 7% total body surface area, involving the face, abdomen, and limbs. The hydrosurgical system is a very useful tool for irregular and complex burn wound debridement. This paper represents the first written clinical experience utilizing hydrosurgery in the burn wound management in an Eastern country.
水刀已在许多外科手术领域得到应用。最近,一种新型手术清创设备——VersajetTM推向了市场。VersajetTM是一种独特的水刀手术设备,它使用精确的水流同时固定、切割和去除失活或坏死组织。本文描述了我们在10例患者身上,比较使用Weck刀与新设计的水刀手术设备进行烧伤创面清创的经验。患者年龄在27至60岁之间(平均37.8岁),所治疗的烧伤创面占体表面积的3%至7%,累及面部、腹部和四肢。水刀手术系统是用于不规则和复杂烧伤创面清创的非常有用的工具。本文是在一个东方国家将水刀手术用于烧伤创面处理的首次书面临床经验报告。
