Current urologic applications of digital imaging.

Abstract:

:One of the most significant developments in imaging technology has been the process of digitalization. By incorporating currently available digital imaging equipment into surgical practice, urologists can be assured of obtaining real-time video images with optimal clarity and detail. In addition, one can efficiently capture and store still images that are crisper and sharper than their analog counterparts. These factors greatly improve the diagnostic capabilities and organization of today's endourologist.

  • An animal model for assessment of heat distribution and neural damage around the endo shears coagulation device-applications for laparoscopic nerve-sparing surgery.

    abstract:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Current urologic laparoscopic procedures include preservation of locoregional nerve fibers. The use of electrical coagulation is limited because of tissue conductance of current and heat production. While ultrasonic coagulation does not use electricity, heat is still produced. We designed an anim...
