Measuring thermal spread during bipolar cauterizing using an experimental pneumoperitoneum and thermal sensors

ObjectiveDuring nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) bipolar electrocoagulation is often used but its use is controversial for the possible thermal damage of neurovascular bundles. Aim of the study was to evaluate the spatial-temporal thermal distribution in the tissue and the c...
