Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the clinical value of new type ultrasonically activated scalpel(UAS)in radical resection of gastric carcinoma.

Methods

One hundred and five cases undergoing radical resection of gastric carcinoma were analyzed.They were divided into two groups randomly.Blood loss volume,operating time in lymphadenectomy, drainage volume of first three days after operation were recorded and compared between two groups.

Results

Operating time,blood loss volume,drainage volume of first three days in UAS group were significantly less than those in the conventional procedure group.

Conclusions

Using new type UAS in lymphadenectomy of gastric carcinoma radical resection is a safe and effective surgery procedure.
