We evaluated the usefulness of Harmonic Scalpel in thoracic surgery. Harmonic Scalpel is an ultrasonically activated surgical device which can coagulate and cut the vessels or tissues. The instrument made thoracoscopic resection of the neurogenic tumor and the mediastinal lymph node and thoracoscopic sympatectomy safetier and easier, because it does not conduct an electric current to the nerve and has high ability of hemostasis. Harmonic Scalpel will be very useful device in the future if its shapes of blades or handpieces are improved.
我们评估了超声刀在胸外科手术中的实用性。超声刀是一种通过超声激活的手术器械,能够对血管或组织进行凝血和切割。该器械使胸腔镜下神经源性肿瘤和纵隔淋巴结切除术以及胸腔镜交感神经切除术更安全、更容易,因为它不会向神经传导电流且具有较高的止血能力。如果超声刀的刀片或手持件形状得到改进,它将在未来成为非常有用的器械。
