Fig 1.1 Example System
The instruments are available in three basic forms.
The resectoscope Instruments (figure 1.2) are designed to be used in conjunction with the
PlasmaKinetic
resectoscope which is designed to accept the instrument which is connected directly
to the connector cable rather than to the resectoscope. Typical use of these types of instruments
would be in the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The cystoscope Instruments (figure 1.3) are intended for insertion through the working channel of any
standard, commercially available urological endoscope with a 5Fr. or larger working channel. Typical
use of these instruments would be for the desiccation and vaporisation of recurrent bladder tumours.
In addition certain Olympus TURis instruments can also be used (see Fig 1.5)
Instruments are designed to provide either vaporisation or desiccation of tissue, using the yellow and
blue pedals respectively, of the dual footswitch. The vaporization is achieved with “SuperPulse” (SP)
mode or “PlasmaKinetic” (PK) modes, depending on instrument type. Desiccation uses the
Desiccated (DES) mode. A third mode is also available, the ThermoKinetic
TM
mode (TS or T).
This mode provides either modulated “SuperPulse” (TS) or a blend of PlasmaKinetic
and Desiccate
(T) electrosurgical currents and offers a reduced vaporisation effect but with enhanced hemostatic
effect.
