I find it quick and reliable and the only comment I would have is that you can't do the uterosacrals reliably, but nearly always have to stitch them. I have no experience with endogia or the harmonic scalpel in abdo hyst.

We had the rep come by and detail us about it, but wanted to get other's opinions regarding its use. How does it compare to using endogia or harmonic? Thanks, appreciate the input. ************************************************************************** Charlie Chambers Hood River, OR USA cchamber@alumni. rice. edu "I'm a goin fishin.
