Fifty-nine subjects were enrolled into the study and randomised to one of two treatment groups; group (a) those treated with electrosurgery and (b) a control group treated with standa...

BACKGROUND Exposure to surgical smoke during electrosurgery may be harmful to theatre personnel. This study quantified toxic compounds present and we were particularly interested in isolating toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene due to their putative carcinogenic effects. METHODS A variety of surgical procedures were studied. Smoke samples emitted during electrosurgery were collected in charcoal ...

An electrosurgery generator (ESU) is a critical piece of equipment found in every therapeutic endoscopic setting. The high frequency (RF or Radio Frequency) alternating currents produced by these ubiquitous generators provide the thermal energy used for the treatment of gut diseases from polyps to bile duct stones, strictures, tumors and more. A frequent physician complaint is that even though ...
