Abstract

Objectives: Quantum Energy Surgical Device (QESD) is a recent thermal working surgical device which works with the principle of tissue application of highly quantum-energized argon gas atoms that are transformed into plasma by employing kinetic energy. In this study, we aimed to examine the operation periods, hemostasis and histological changes on the cutting surface, and the free radicals that can be formed during this period in the partial hepatectomies performed with QESD and bipolar electrocautery (BEC).
