Reconsideration of Sharp Dissection in Gynecological Surgery.

ABSTRACT: In surgical fields, sharp dissection is a basic surgical technique, and the prognosis and oncological outcomes are known to be affected by the technique of dissection. Even in gynecologic surgery, we believe that the basic surgical technique is sharp dissection. We herein present our technique and discuss its significance. Sharp dissection should entail the removal of a single thin line between the residual tissue and the excised tissue. If this line becomes multiple or thicker, it is not sharp dissection but blunt dissection. The accumulation of this thin line of sharp dissection can form surgical layers.
