Many surgeons are hesitant in the use of electrocautery on the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study is to compare wound healing following incisions made by scalpel and diathermy in the rat. Healing was assessed by bursting strength measurements and histology. This study revealed no difference in strength by bursting measurements between scalpel and diathermy incision. Histologically there is not a lag in healing in the gastrointestinal tract following electroincision. It is concluded that in abdominal surgery, diathermy can be used without detriment to the strength of any suture line and with no difference in its final healing.
许多外科医生在胃肠道手术中对使用电灼术犹豫不决。本研究的目的是比较在大鼠身上用手术刀和热电刀切开后伤口的愈合情况。通过测量破裂强度和组织学检查来评估愈合情况。这项研究表明，手术刀切开和热电刀切开在测量破裂强度方面没有差异。组织学上，电切开后胃肠道的愈合没有延迟。得出的结论是，在腹部手术中，可以使用热电刀，而不会损害任何缝合线的强度，且最终愈合情况没有差异。
