Improved Operative Outcomes in Open Hysterectomy

John Elkas, MD of Inova Fairfax Hospital and Warner Huh, MD of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital will lead a live webcast of a panel discussion on the various uses of the LigaSure Impact™ instrument and the ForceTriverse™ device during open hysterectomies complicated by the presence of cancer.

The doctors will review video footage of several cases performed by Dr. Elkas on June 2nd at Inova Fairfax hospital. These procedures feature multiple uses of the latest in tissue fusion and electrosurgical technology during gynecologic and oncologic procedures. "The instruments bring increased speed and efficiency to all my procedures at the same time giving me confidence in the hemostasis provided by the instruments. They are an essential part of my practice," says Dr. Elkas. "The fact that I can keep my focus on the operating field while activating and adjusting the power from the surgical field is a great safety feature."

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."
