Electrosurgical Bipolar Plasmakinetic Vessel Sealing During Abdominal Hysterectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of the use of bipolar plasmakinetic vessel sealing (Gyrus Pk) usage versus standard technique when performing total abdominal hysterectomy for benign disease. Material and Methods: controlled randomized trial involving 94 women who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy. 47 procedures were performed using bipolar plasmakinetic vessel sealing and the remaining 47 with the standard sutures technique. The primary outcomes were improvement in terms of blood loss, procedure time, length of hospital stay, and overall cost of the procedure. Statistical methodology considered significant P \<0.05.
