I ____, do agree that it would be totally cool for the surgeon to practice his skills with any and all new surgical tools, even if it means removing my organs and putting them back in like Operation®, because I trust anything that is FDA approved is completely safe.

Just yankin' yer chain, I would be the guy in the front of the line!]]>Jul 25th 2008 3:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/
I have an extra kidney or two or three. I'm phoning right now for an operation with one of these Star Trek tools.]]>Jul 25th 2008 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/
This is pretty cool, though.]]>Jul 25th 2008 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/
Now, the gamer in me simply would like to know how long till the military uses this to fabricate a Plasma Sword? ]]>Jul 25th 2008 5:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/Jul 25th 2008 6:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/
Also, implications for a quicker healing timeline could be proven with just non-invasive arthroscopic procedures such as cartilage repair or dissection or cosmetic (non-facial) procedures.]]>Jul 25th 2008 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/Jul 25th 2008 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/But I, for one, welcome these new surgical overlords. Most of the pain of surgery recovery is from "collateral damage" of the skin, muscle, and underlying tissue. I'd take this over a metal knife any day.]]>Jul 25th 2008 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/

They've actually had something like this in veterinary medicine for a while, so it's good to see it make the jump.]]>Jul 25th 2008 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/
(What's more worrying is that this has been happening randomly with most of my steam games, dunno why.)]]>Jul 25th 2008 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/Jul 25th 2008 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/Jul 25th 2008 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/Jul 25th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/Jul 25th 2008 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/He still needs to work on his typing...]]>Jul 26th 2008 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/
Just as a side note, I wonder how laser scalpel technology is advancing?]]>Jul 25th 2008 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/Jul 25th 2008 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-gets-fda-approval/Jul 25th 2008 1:28PM
