I find the Gyrus PK much, much better. It holds better, and seems to coagulate better too. I also find their bipolar needle great for amputation the cervix for LSH's.

I was not really impressed - it sure took more time than just doing it straight from below. On Both of them I did the L/S because of anticipation of endometriosis - so that tcould be treated. One had it and one did not. But I found the ligasure to be a hassle. It sure didn't work as nicely as I expected. What have others found and is there a better L/S piece of equipment to do the utero-ovarians? Joanne -- Joanne Bulley, MD Keene, NH, USA "Love is indescribable and unconditional.
