Electric welding of soft tissues in surgery
B.E. Paton
E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NASU 11 Kazymyr Malevych Str., 03150, Kyiv, Ukraine.Abstract
Main drawbacks of the available methods for joining soft tissues in surgical operations are noted. It has been established that under certain conditions it is possible to join incisions in different organs and soft tissues by the method based on heating the joint zone by high-frequency current. This method has much in common with the resistance welding method, that is why it is called welding. Multiple experiments made on animals, and later in clinics, confirmed that the application of welding in surgery is feasible and highly promising. More than 2,000 patients were operated in the clinics of Kiev. Surgical operations are mentioned, which are characterized by the efficient application of welding, and which were verified and mastered by the Kiev clinics.
Keywords: electric welding, soft tissues, joint, surgery, equipment and tools, advantages
