Impact of Thermal Cauterization on the Biomechanical Strength of Mesh Fixation in Porcine Skin and Avian Cartilage Models: Surgical Implications for Sacral Colpopexy

Background: Energy devices are widely used for hemostasis in pelvic reconstructive surgery; however, their thermal effects on tissue integrity at mesh fixation sites remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of bipolar cauterization on the mechanical strength of...
