A Clinical Study of Efficacy of Diathermy Incision Vs Scalpel Incision in Patients Undergoing Open Hernia Surgery

Abstract

An incision is a slit or cut used to get access to deeper tissues. Electro cautery is a medical procedure that involves burning a specific portion of the body to remove or close it. Although worries of severe scarring and slower wound healing have limited its use for skin incision, electro- cautery is becoming increasingly often used for tissue dissection.
