leikkausjännitystä

Leikkausjännitystä refers to the physical stress and mental strain caused by the cutting process during surgery. It is a significant factor in the overall trauma associated with surgical procedures. Leikkausjännitystä arises from the mechanical forces applied to tissues during incision and transection, including the cut edges of the tissue, the glands, and the bloodstream.

During surgery, cut edges of tissue contract, resulting in anisotropic, inhomogeneous, and three-dimensional distributions of mechanical stress. The physical forces generated by the cutting process can lead to tissue tearing, cell damage, and disruption of the extracellular matrix. This exacerbates postoperative healing, wound complications, and the inflammatory response.

Leikkausjännitystä can be minimized through the use of advanced surgical techniques. One approach is to utilize single-stroke dissection methods, where the tissue is cut in a single, smooth motion. Alternatively, some surgeons employ scalpels with variable blade angle, to optimize the preciseness of tissue incision. Minimally invasive surgical techniques and computer-assisted surgery have also become more common in some medical fields. There is ongoing research into biomaterials and implantable technology designed to mitigate tissue trauma and speed up the healing process.
