Healing of canine skin incisions made with monopolar electrosurgery versus scalpel blade

Abstract: The use of monopolar electrosurgery at 10, 20, and 30 W in a cutting waveform improved hemostasis and surgical time when incising canine skin, but delayed healing and increased complications within the first 7 days compared to scalpel incisions.

“…et al determined the effect of monopolar electrosurgery in the 10, 20 or 30 W mode for the duration of the operation, hemostasis and healing of cutaneous wounds compared to the scalpel incisions. The results of the study showed that the use of monopolar electrosurgery in different cutting regimens improved hemostasis and shortened the operation time for skin cutting in animals (15 dogs), but delayed healing and increased complications during the first 7 days compared to the scalpel incisions [13]. Ismail A. et al conducted a systematic review and metaanalysis of work comparing electrocautery cutters and surgical incisions with a scalpel [14].…”

“…No scientific works can be find in literature on comparison between electronic and cold scalpel for the excision of pilonidal disease. First report regarding the use of monopolar electrosurgery for hemostasis in human surgery has been well described since 1926 [21]. Several experimental studies on animals, demonstrated that incisions made by monopolar electrosurgery can lead to a reduction of tensile strength, delayed healing, increased infection and seroma rate and a greater areas of necrosis if compared to scalpel incision [[22], [23], [24], [25]].…”
