Non-vascular experimental and clinical applications of advanced bipolar radiofrequency thermofusion technology in the thorax and abdomen: a systematic review

摘要

Advanced bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy-based devices are increasingly used for non-vascular tissue sealing, transection and anastomosis. Although the potential to further develop this technology is clear, the limitations of commercially available devices are poorly understood. This systematic review examines the current utilisation of advanced bipolar RF fusion technology for non-vascular applications in thoracic and abdominal tissues and organs.
