Description
A bipolar plasma button, also known as a PlasmaButton, is a minimally invasive surgical tool that uses low-temperature plasma energy to vaporize tissue. The button-shaped electrode is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, and is an improvement on the conventional TURP procedure. The PlasmaButton has several advantages over other electrodes, including:
-
Faster tissue removalThe button electrode can remove tissue faster than other electrodes, such as loop and roller.
-
Improved visibilityAs tissue is vaporized, the endoscopic view remains clear and unobstructed.
-
Reduced bleedingContinuous hemostasis is provided during the procedure, which minimizes bleeding.
-
Reduced risk of complicationsThe PlasmaButton has a reduced risk of obturator nerve stimulation and hyponatremia, and minimal charring and thermal spread.
