“…Shorter operation times are becoming more and more important with increasing caseloads in highvolume centers. Thus, there is a trend towards time saving techniques, with less use of conventional knot-tying or suture ligation (2,3). The thyroid gland, with numerous blood vessels and plexuses, has one of the richest blood supplies in the human body, and thyroid surgery requires meticulous devascularization of the thyroid gland.…”

A 10-month-old, unilateral cryptorchid, male English bulldog underwent urethropexy for the treatment of urethral prolapse. Six hours after surgery the dog developed dysuria, haematuria, discomfort, severe penile oedema, inflammation, and inability to extrude the penis from the prepuce. Urethral patency was restored by placing an indwelling catheter into the urethral lumen. Penile swelling was managed with cold and warm compresses for 2 days, and antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and opioids for 4 days. Complete resolution of the swelling was evident by 3 days after surgery. One year after surgery the dog was reported to be in good health.

Background and Aims: the Ligasure ve ssel sealing system (Lvss) is an ew surgical technology which has been used to secure haemostasis in various fields of surgery.There is little information in the literature about the use of the LVSS in thyroid surgerya nd the results of these studies are controversial. The aim of this study was to reporto ur experience with the Lvss in thyroid surgeryand to compareitwith our experience with conventional vessel ligation.Patients and Methods: the non-randomized retrospectiver eview included 403 consecutive patients who underwent primary thyroid surgery. aconventional suture-ligation techniquewas used in 199 patients (conventional group) and the Lvss was used in 204 patients (ligasure group). The following data were collected: patients'd emographics, thyroid pathology,type of thyroidectomy,operating time and complications.Results: The mean operating time for lobectomy,s ubtotal thyroidectomya nd total thyroidectomyw as significantly shorter in the Ligasure group compared with the conventional group. average saving in operating time in the Ligasure group was 25.8 minutes (95% ci 19.5-32.2; p<0.0001) with relative reduction being 26.6%. among all types of complications only postoperative transient hypoparathyroidism demonstrated asignificantly lower incidence in the Ligasuregroup (2.5% vs 7.0%; p=0.022).Conclusions: We found that the LVSS is asafe method with minimal complications in thyroid surgery.U se of the LVSS for all types of thyroidectomye nsures as ignificantly shorter operating time.

Randomized clinical trial of Ligasure™versus conventional diathermy for day-case haemorrhoidectomy

Abstract: Ligasure diathermy may be used safely in the treatment of patients with grade III or IV haemorrhoids. It reduces intraoperative blood loss and operating time, and facilitates same-day discharge.
