Abstract
Energy devices have revolutionized endoscopic surgical techniques, extending the forefront of surgical care to new heights of advanced surgery through natural orifices. This has led to advances in clinical care of the patient—shorter hospital stay, less pain, and improved outcomes. Endoscopic energy devices allow dissection, hemostasis and coagulation in a manner similar to open or laparoscopic surgery but in a much more restricted space; therefore working knowledge is essential to provide safe and reliable use. Many of these devices are listed and validated by MAUDE (Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience database, US Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health).
