A new argon beam coagulator system promises a radically different form of electrocoagulation. Rarely does a tool make such an important contribution to the surgical armamentarium. This instrument reduces blood loss by up to half via rapid superficial coagulation, even when severe bleeding occurs. It causes minimal tissue damage, coagulates large vessels (2 to 3 mm in diameter), reduces the risk of postoperative hemorrhage, and markedly reduces operative time. Since the coagulation is superficial, healing appears to be unimpaired. We describe our experience with this new instrument (video tape recordings demonstrating its use in surgical procedures are available).
一种新型氩离子束凝固器系统有望带来一种截然不同的电凝形式。很少有工具能对外科手术器械库做出如此重要的贡献。即使发生严重出血，该器械通过快速浅表凝固也能将失血量减少多达一半。它造成的组织损伤最小，能凝固大血管（直径2至3毫米），降低术后出血风险，并显著缩短手术时间。由于凝固是浅表性的，愈合似乎未受影响。我们描述了使用这种新器械的经验（有录像带展示其在外科手术中的使用情况）。
