Electrosurgery and argon plasma coagulation in endoscopy: An art and science
7th Global Congress on Gastroenterology & Endoscopy
Kristie Briggs
Erbe USA Inc., USA
Keynote: J Gastrointest Dig Syst
Abstract
Electrosurgery is used worldwide in the majority of surgical and endoscopic gastrointestinal (GI) procedures. Along with the discovery of anesthesia and antibiotics, electrosurgery is probably one of the more important advantages of modern surgery in terms of preserving life and health. Using electrosurgery is both an art and a science. Yet, most healthcare professionals have not had any formalized education on the principles of electrosurgery and the safe practices required for positive clinical outcomes and patient safety. This continuing education activity reviews the basic properties of electricity and the principles of electrosurgery, cutting versus coagulation and argon plasma coagulation. Influencing variables, clinical applications and potential complications of these modalities will also be discussed.Biography
