Wide acceptance of the laparoscopic approach in both benign and malignant colorectal diseases has led to the development of several multifunctional tools aiming to overcome the limitations of conventional electrosurgery (ES). The aim of this study was to compare ES, ultrasonic coagulating shears (US), electrothermal bipolar vessel sealers (EBVS), and a relatively new energy device that combines both ultrasonic and bipolar energy (Thunderbeat, TB) in terms of safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resection (LCR).

Abstract

Wide acceptance of the laparoscopic approach in both benign and malignant colorectal diseases has led to the development of several multifunctional tools aiming to overcome the limitations of conventional electrosurgery (ES). The aim of this study was to compare ES, ultrasonic coagulating shears (US), electrothermal bipolar vessel sealers (EBVS), and a relatively new energy device that combines both ultrasonic and bipolar energy (Thunderbeat, TB) in terms of safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resection (LCR).
