| dc.description.abstract | Surgical access complications during endovascular
aneurysm repair (EVAR) are reported relatively
frequent. HARMONIC FOCUS® (HF; Ethicon EndoSurgery Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio, USA) is a device
developed to improve bleeding control and reduce
heat-related damage stemming from surgical
preparation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes and
safety of HF versus conventional haemostasis with
electrocautery, both techniques used in the same
patient. Five patients developed bilateral wound’s
thickening (13.9%) demonstrated at the CT scan, two
of whom had no clinical manifestation while in three
cases the thickening was associated with lymphocele
(4.54%), 2 of which were in the side where the EC
was used (5.5%), and 1 case (2.7%), in the HF applied
side. One isolated lymphocele occurred at the left
groin (2.7%) (tables n.2-3). A Fisher’s exact test was
conducted between EC and HF on the occurrence of
wound healing complications (3/36 for EC and 1/36
for HF) that resulted statistically significant at p<0.05.
Focus Harmonic Scalpel has certain advantages than
conventional haemostasis in avoiding surgical access
complications. | it_IT |
