Revolutionary in electrosurgery from electrosurgical to plasma
The 1940s: Monopolar Electrosurgical
Advantages: Fast, efficient; cutting and hemostasis
Disadvantages: High thermal damage and poor safety, limitedĀ application in ENT
The 1980sļ¼Bipolar Radiofrequency
Advantages: Safer and more efficient; easy to operate
Disadvantages: High thermal damage, can not cut tissue, small scope of application
21st Century: Plasma Surgical System
Advantage: Low-temperature resection, hemostasis, ablation, and coagulation, widely used in minimally-invasive surgery
Nowadays:
Globally, tens of millions of patients receive plasma treatment yearly in Urology, Neurosurgery, and Gynecology – but mainly used in Otolaryngology-Head-Neck surgery, and sports medicine.
A plasma radiofrequency surgical system is widely used in the Nose, Pharynx, and Throat
