Bipolar Coagulation Forceps Enabling Precise Manipulation and Accelerated Recovery in Hemorrhoidectomy
Hemorrhoids are one of the most common anorectal diseases in clinical practice, with primary symptoms including bleeding, pain, and even prolapse, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. For patients with severe hemorrhoids, surgical excision is an effective treatment. Traditional surgery often employs monopolar electrocautery, which is widely used but associated with issues such as significant thermal damage and slow postoperative recovery. In recent years, with advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques, bipolar coagulation forceps have been increasingly adopted in hemorrhoidectomy, demonstrating notable advantages.
Most medical institutions in China still commonly use monopolar electrocautery for hemorrhoidectomy. This device generates high heat through high-frequency current to achieve tissue cutting and coagulation. Although relatively simple to operate, the current must pass through the patient’s body to form a circuit, resulting in a broader thermal spread that can cause additional damage to healthy tissue around the wound edges. This leads to noticeable postoperative pain, prolonged wound healing, and a relatively higher incidence of complications such as urinary retention and incisional edema [1].
In contrast, bipolar coagulation forceps confine the current to a minimal area between the two tips, eliminating the need for a circuit through the body. The energy is highly concentrated, with minimal thermal diffusion. While achieving precise hemostasis, it maximally preserves surrounding healthy tissue, making it particularly suitable for the perianal region with dense vascular distribution. Clinical studies have shown that using bipolar coagulation forceps for hemorrhoidectomy significantly reduces operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain scores, and promotes wound healing. Additionally, the incidence of complications such as postoperative edema and urinary dysfunction is significantly lower compared to traditional electrocautery [2].
ShouLiang-med’s independently developed bipolar coagulation forceps integrate high-precision tip design and anti-adhesive coating technology, ensuring concentrated current and minimal thermal damage. They are particularly suitable for delicate procedures such as hemorrhoidectomy. The "coagulation-dissection simultaneously" function enhances anatomical efficiency and operational smoothness, providing a clear surgical field and significantly improving surgical safety and postoperative recovery quality.
The application of bipolar coagulation forceps in hemorrhoidectomy offers multiple advantages, including minimal damage, rapid recovery, and fewer complications, aligning with the principles of modern minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery. ShouLiang-med’s bipolar coagulation forceps, with their excellent performance, are a reliable choice in the field of anorectal surgery.
