Soft Coagulation Scissors Enhance Safety in Robot-Assisted Surgery

Researchers have introduced the Soft Coagulation Scissors (SoCS) method, revolutionizing robot-assisted colorectal surgery. This innovative technique combines soft coagulation with curved scissors, effectively preventing vessel wall damage and minimizing bleeding during lymph node dissection. The SoCS method demonstrates high hemostatic efficacy while allowing for precise dissection, thereby enhancing the safety of surgical procedures near critical blood vessels. It marks a significant advancement in surgical approaches for colorectal cancer treatment.
