Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Monopolar electro surgery scissors (MES), electro thermal bipolar vessel sealer (BVS) and ultrasonically coagulating shears (UCS) are all applied in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. We aimed to compare the different devices with regard to dissection time, blood loss, technical aspects and costs.
