Purpose: To assess by means of computer simulations whether the heat sink effect inside a large vessel (portal vein) could protect the vessel wall from thermal damage close to an internally cooled electrode during ...
Purpose: To assess the capacity of two methods of surgical pancreatic stump closure in
terms of reducing the risk of pancreatic fistula formation (POPF): radiofrequencyinduced
heating versus mechanical stapler.
