[Energy Devices and Soft Coagulation].

Abstract

The increasing variety of energy devices and modes in thoracic surgery, driven by evolving surgical approaches, presented challenges in selection and understanding. This paper addressed this by reviewing the principles, characteristics, adverse events, and effective application of radiofrequency, ultrasonic, and microwave devices, including recent innovations and soft coagulation. The goal was to guide clinicians towards informed decision-making in their choice of energy modalities.
