Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Using Electrosurgery

On September 20th, Dr. Craig Sobolewski and Dr. Jeffrey Wilkinson from Duke University Health System will present a panel discussion of a total laparoscopic hysterectomy performed by Dr. Sobolewski at Durham Regional Hospital, Durham, NC.

The OR-Live.com event will occur at 5 pm GMT for the European audience, and again at 7 pm EDT for the American audience.

Before the procedure, Dr. Sobolewski will discuss the advantages of using electrosurgical technology during a total laparoscopic hysterectomy, "We'll be using the Ligasure™ System for vessel sealing. We believe this is the optimal choice as it provides secure efficient seals and does so in a reliable way each time. For the majority of our fine dissection we use standard unipolar technologies and technique and have found that the ForceTriad™ Energy Platform for electrosurgery has allowed us to do this in a very efficient manner."
