Use of a vessel sealing system (LigaSure Impact™) in the sealing and division of the intestine
Öz
Aim: To evaluate the efficiency of the LigaSure Impact™ (LigaSure LF 4200) device in the sealing and division of the intestine.
Material and Methods: The study included 13 patients (9 male, 4 female). The diagnosis was rectal cancer in 5 cases, gastric cancer in 3, right colon cancer in 2, left colon cancer in 1, and pancreatic cancer in 1; 1 case had ileostomy. The LigaSure Impact™ (LigaSure LF 4200) device was used as a linear cutting stapler in the resection of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and transverse and sigmoid colon.
Results: Ages of the patients ranged between 20-85 years. A total of 20 cutting procedures were performed with LigaSure (3 at duodenal, 4 at jejunal, 4 at ileal and 9 at the colonic level). There was no failure or complication in the sealing process. Division of the bowel with LigaSure is easy and safe for making a clean intestinal edge during the operation. Complications included urethral injury in 1 case during the operation and wound infection in the perineal region in 1 case; neither complication was related with thermal energy.
Conclusions: This issue needs further
investigation. Our population was very small and there was no control group.
However, our results showed that LigaSure can be used safely in the division
and sealing of the intestine as a linear cutting stapler. The development of
special devices for the intestine will make this process easier and contribute
to its more frequent use
