A new intraocular aspiration probe with bipolar cautery and reflux capabilities.

The design of the Mentor Wet-Field eraser (Mentor O & O Inc, Norwell, Mass) has been modified so as to include fluid aspiration and reflux capabilities. This 20-gauge disposable probe minimizes instrument exchange through sclerotomy ports and provides sensitive control over reflux action by minimizing the dead-space volume over which reflux occurs. Safer manipulation of detached retina, membranes, and clots is therefore achieved.

Surgical cautery revisited.

A new hemostatic scalpel has been developed to control bleeding between the cut edges of wound tissue. The scalpel blade resembles conventional scalpel blades, except that it can be heated and its temperature controlled within narrow limits. Cutting is accomplished by the blade's sharp edges, and hemostasis results from the direct transfer of heat from the blade to the tissue. This experimental study has demonstrated that the hemostatic effect of the scalpel is associated with damage to the tissue's defenses against infection and impaired wound healing.

Combined endoscopic cautery and clip closure of chronic gastrocutaneous fistulas.

BACKGROUND: Chronic gastrocutaneous fistula with intermittent drainage is a common outcome after removing long-standing gastrostomy tubes. The standard treatment is surgery with laparotomy and excision of the fistula tract. This study describes the results of an endoscopic closure technique by using a combination of electrocautery and metal clips. METHODS: Three patients with gastrocutaneous fistulas (duration 3 months to 3 years) after gastrostomy tube removal were treated endoscopically by electrocautery of the tract and application of metal clips. OBSERVATIONS: Treatment resulted in complete fistula closure in two patients and partial closure in a third patient. CONCLUSIONS: Combined endoscopic therapy with electrocautery and clipping may be an alternative to surgical closure of chronic gastrocutaneous fistulas.
