Comparison of Harmful Gases Produced During GreenLight High-performance System Laser Prostatectomy and Transurethral Resection of the Prostate

Comparative Safety Analysis of Surgical Smoke From Transurethral Resection of the Bladder Tumors and Transurethral Resection of the Prostate

“…6 The irrigation solution contains 2.7% sorbitol and 0.54% mannitol (Ursol irrigation; CJ, Seoul, South Korea), and generates a lesser diverse type of gas at lower concentrations as compared with normal saline. 6,7 It has been speculated that malignant tissue produces more toxic gases because of its nature and pathophysiology. To date, however, few studies have examined the chemical composition of surgical smoke generated from the TURP or the transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB), which is the most effective surgical procedure in patients with bladder tumor.…”

“…A further quantitative analysis was performed for 7 of 16 gases in the group I (Table 2). 7 This showed that there …”

Composition of the electrocautery smoke: integrative literature review

“…In the studies of the third category (E4 to E14) (4,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) , several gases were identified, but the VOC were the chemical compounds present in all articles. Therefore, the predominant VOC identified and quantified were the following: benzene (4,(21)(22)28) , ethylbenzene (4,21,26,(28)(29) , toluene (4,(21)(22)(23)26,(28)(29)(30) , styrene (4,21,26,28) and butadiene (22,(24)(25)27,30) . This diversity of compounds can be justified by the different types of surgeries in which were collected smoke samples, the body mass index of different patients, and the duration, and energy of electrocautery use because these factors can alter the compounds production (23,26) , increasing the risk of occupational exposure even more, since professionals can work in many surgical rooms and various surgi-www.ee.usp.br/reeusp Composition of the electrocautery smoke: integrative literature review cal procedures daily.…”
