The structure and function of the electric resectoscope have been discussed and the application to synovectomy and removal of loose bodies in the knee joint. Our clinical results have also been reported. The advantages and problems of synovectomy and arthroscopic surgery with the electric resectoscope as used in the knee joint are discussed, especially in comparison with conventional resection of the anterior two-thirds of the synovial membrane. For intra-articular use in the knee joint the electric resectoscope used for transurethral resection in urology was modified to perform synovectomy and arthroscopic surgery. Clinical folow-up observation indicated that synovectomy performed with the electric resectoscope produced results almost comparable with those of conventional synovectomy. Arthroscopic surgery with the electric resectoscope is a new method. It is performed through a small skin incision with fewer untoward effects. The operation is relatively painless and offers more rapid recovery after surgery. A few complications were noted by this method. None were serious. There were two epsiodes of infection during the early use of this technique.
本文讨论了电动切除镜的结构与功能，以及其在膝关节滑膜切除术和游离体摘除术中的应用。我们也报告了临床结果。文中讨论了膝关节使用电动切除镜进行滑膜切除术和关节镜手术的优点及问题，特别是与传统的滑膜前三分之二切除术相比较。用于泌尿外科经尿道切除的电动切除镜经改装后用于膝关节腔内，以进行滑膜切除术和关节镜手术。临床随访观察表明，使用电动切除镜进行滑膜切除术的效果与传统滑膜切除术几乎相当。使用电动切除镜进行关节镜手术是一种新方法。它通过小的皮肤切口进行，不良反应较少。手术相对无痛，术后恢复更快。该方法出现了一些并发症，但均不严重。在该技术早期使用过程中有两例感染。
