Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Monopolar electrosurgery compared with other energy sources is associated with unique inherent risks and complications due to inadvertent direct and/or capacitive coupling or insulation failure of instruments. These dangers become particularly important with the re-emergence of single-port laparoscopy which requires close proximity and crossing of multiple intra-abdominal instruments. Our objective is to determine the effects of monopolar electrosurgery on various tissues/organs during simulated single-port laparoscopic surgery in vitro and in vivo.
