| Abstract: |
In this work, for the first time, the specific impedances of various injection solutions as well as the surface and tissue impedance after injection of these solutions were analyzed and compared regarding the radio-frequency surgical cutting process. The impedances of 0.9% NaCl, 4% gelatine, 6% hydroxyethyl starch, 10% glycerol/5% fructose, 10% glucose, 5% and 20% albumin, blood, and blood plasma as well as aqua destillata have been tested in vitro. Even if EMR and ESD are routinely used in clinical practice, there is so far no easy, fast, and safe method to remove larger lesions en bloc. We show that the impedance of the injected solution shows to be a crucial factor for safe removal, especially of larger lesions (Ø > 20 mm) and more importantly in accordance with the requirements of oncology and pathology. Key messages: Impedance is playing a crucial factor in the radio-frequency (RF)-surgery. With a higher Impedance there will be less current necessary to reach the aimed voltage. Injection solution Aqua destillata and 10% Glucose, show significantly higher Impedances. Higher impedances lead to less surgical related complications. Minor changes in existing method to improve patent safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
