The Global Market for Big Data Technologies and Services is Projected to Reach $60 Billion by 2022

The global market for Electrosurgery is projected to reach US$5.3 billion by 2025 driven by the growing burden of surgical conditions and the ensuing need to reduce the associated economic and financial costs. Surgery represents an essential component of the healthcare system and improper surgical care, surgical errors, lack of appropriate surgical devices/instruments tend to significantly push up costs associated with post-surgical complications. Against the backdrop of the ongoing healthcare reforms, significant focus is therefore shed on the adoption of safe and effective surgical practices. In this regard, gaining immense attention are surgical technologies that increase accuracy and result in better surgical outcomes. At the very core of performing a surgery is making the incision with precision. Electrosurgeries have and still continue to remain that most effective technology that utilizes electrical current to slice through tissue. Over 80% of surgeries performed today use electrosurgery. Benefits of electrosurgery include precise and smaller incisions; limited tissue damage and blood loss; ability to cut, coagulate, desiccate and fulgurate tissue; ease and flexibility in reaching hard to access location in the human body as compared to traditional scalpel surgery. Electrosurgical devices are more effective than scalpel in abdominal operations where multiple layers of tissue need to be cut before the surgical site can be reached. Few of the myths which have until now impeded the use of electrosurgery is now dissipating such as erroneous beliefs that electrosurgery techniques increase scar formation; impair and delay healing. A growing number of surgeons today receive formal training on electrosurgery as the academic community wakes up to the benefits of the technology and its potential uses. Read More…
