We present preliminary and descriptive data using this novel technology in vivo. Considering the impact of a virtual real-time histologic analysis, this technology points to a very promising development. It may carry potential for quicker intraoperative diagnosis, less need for multiple frozen sections, and more precise resection margins.

ECC led to hemodynamic impairment with post-ischemic reactive hyperemia. OPCAB created hemodynamic depression but left RMP unchanged. Hemodynamic depression can be reduced by the Impella pump, however regional myocardial blood flow is decreased.

Tonsillotomy with the bipolar coagulation scissors is a reliable method of surgery in children with tonsillar hypertrophy. This type of scissors offers an ideal combination of dissection and coagulation. From an economic point of view, the bipolar coagulation scissors offer a clear advantage over laser.
