ultraäärikirurgia

Ultraäärikirurgia, also known as ultrasonic surgery, is a surgical technique that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to cut and coagulate tissue. This method offers an alternative to traditional electrosurgery and scalpels. The ultrasonic energy is delivered through a specialized handpiece and an oscillating blade or tip. As the tip vibrates at frequencies typically between 20,000 and 60,000 Hertz, it generates mechanical energy that can precisely dissect tissue. Simultaneously, the heat generated by the vibrations can cauterize blood vessels, minimizing bleeding during the procedure.

The primary advantages of ultraäärikirurgia include its ability to achieve hemostasis, meaning effective control of bleeding, and its precision in dissection, which can preserve surrounding healthy tissue. This can lead to reduced operative time, less blood loss, and potentially faster recovery for the patient. The technique is employed in various surgical specialties, such as general surgery, gynecology, and plastic surgery, for procedures like tumor removal and tissue dissection. While beneficial, like any surgical technique, it requires specialized training and equipment. The use of ultraäärikirurgia is determined by the specific surgical context and the surgeon's expertise.
