Abstract
Objective: A computer based, temperature controlled bipolar coagulatio n system has been developed. This system was evaluated for its efficie ncy on electrocoagulation of rabbit uterine horns at a low temperature . Study design: In purpose to find an optimal setting, rabbit uterine horns were coagulated at various temperature and time. They were exami ned histologically and histochemically up to six weeks after coagulati on. Results: Electrocoagulation at 90 degrees C for 30 s induced a tot al occlusion of the lumen when examined six weeks later. Conclusion: T his coagulation system with low temperature is sufficient for a total occlusion of uterine lumen in the rabbit. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ir eland Ltd.
