title: [Features of radio wave tissue dissection in surgical practice].
abstract: Results of experimental and clinical investigations of using radioknife "Surgitron" for dissection and coagulation of tissues were compared. In 145 experiments the possibility to dissect different tissues (skin, muscles, fascia) and parenchymatous organs of the abdominal cavity was studied. The specific course of reparative processes was analyzed at different periods after operation. In clinical conditions the radioknife was used for operative interventions on 520 patients: in 91 cases the device was used for dissection and coagulation of hollow organs and in 73 cases--of parenchymatous organs of the abdominal cavity, in 356 patients radioknife was used for plastic operations. The radioknife "Surgitron" was established to be very good for dissection of tissues. The coagulating effect was weak. The zone of undesirable lateral necrosis was negligible, and often it was absent that makes favorable conditions for the reparative processes. On the basis of clinical and experimental investigations it was established that using radioknife "Surgitron" is indicated and expedient in plastic and esthetic surgery because it is in this field where the positive properties of radiowave action can have maximal realization taking into account the requirements of the means and quality of dissection of tissues.
