Heat generation and thermal safety of powered instrumentation in endoscopic sinus surgery

Key Points

The research aims to understand how powered instruments affect thermal risks in endoscopic sinus surgery.
Examined heat generation from various powered instruments used in endoscopic sinus surgery.
Assessed the impact of operative factors on heat dissipation.
Evaluated existing guidelines for the use of thermal-sensitive devices.
Identified specific devices that generate excessive heat during use.
Highlighted key operative factors that can reduce thermal risk.
Demonstrated that informed instrument selection can enhance surgical safety.

Abstract

Appropriate selection and informed use of powered instruments are central to minimizing thermal risk in ESS. A thorough understanding of how different devices generate and dissipate heat, together with attention to modifiable operative factors, can enhance surgical safety and reduce the likelihood of thermal injury.
