This particular technique, developed by Audenaert and Pattyn, has been suggested to avoid post-operative bleeding and reduce operating time.
We have also found that using barbed sutures (V-loc™or Stratafix™) has helped reduce operating time, and in a recent multicenter study, the use of such barbed sutures has also been shown to significantly reduce operative blood loss [29].
Customized 3D PMMA prosthesis offers cost advantages, a great aesthetic result, reduced operating time and good biocompatibility.
Computer assisted design and prosthetic material modeling result in an excellent cosmetic outcome, and reduce operating time necessary for implant placement [13].
Next to a significantly reduced operating time, the authors describe a significant increase in the amount of pelvic lymph nodes harvested with gaining experience [23].
Preoperative imaging also reduces operating time and enhances the surgeon's confidence in choosing the appropriate donor site for harvesting flaps.
We report our experience with LigaSure tm) for thyroidectomy to test the hypothesis that it reduces operating time without increasing complications compared with standard vessel ligation.
The powder mixed machining helps in achieving reduced operating time of the same component than without powder (Peças and Henriques 2003), due to dis-integration of spark it results in high MRR.
Based on our observations that prior conservative treatment did not reduce operating time or hemoglobin loss, we do not recommend prior medical treatment or UAE to improve safety or efficacy of transvaginal surgery.
