11/01/2015 - "Twelve (0.03 %) bleeding episodes required transfusion with no polypectomy technique dominating and 16 (0.04 %) perforations with 81 % of polypectomies performed using diathermy-assisted techniques. "

01/01/2014 - "In order to develop a medical alternative to surgical ovarian diathermy (OD) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) more mechanistic information is required about OD. "

09/01/2013 - "Does unilateral laparoscopic diathermy adjusted to ovarian volume increase the chances of ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome?"

01/01/2007 - "Hyperthermia induced by microwave diathermy into tissue can stimulate repair processes, increase drug activity, allow more efficient relief from pain, help in the removal of toxic wastes, increase tendon extensibility and reduce muscle and joint stiffness. "
03/01/2011 - "The main purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of short wave diathermy (SWD) in the symptomatic management of chronic PID pain. "
06/01/2009 - "Effect of diathermy on pain and healing in tonsillectomy, compared with other methods of haemostasis: a randomised study."
01/01/2001 - "These trials showed no statistical difference between galvanic current or short wave diathermy for the outcomes of pain and patient-assessed improvement. "
11/01/1998 - "The aim of this study was to assess pain and complication rates after closed hemorrhoidectomy with the use of either scissors or diathermy excision. "

11/01/1960 - "Improved calibrated electrodes for diathermy operations in retinal detachment."
12/01/2003 - "Penetrating diathermy through a lamellar scleral flap and encircling carries less risk of inducing traction retinal detachment compared with excessive photocoagulation. "
01/01/1999 - "Transscleral diathermy: an additional tool in the management of retinal detachment due to posterior breaks in highly myopic eyes."
01/01/1994 - "Drainage of subretinal fluid in retinal detachment surgery with the El-Mofty insulated diathermy electrode."
02/01/1992 - "Use of diathermy rather than cryotherapy in the zone of retinal detachment may be the reason for the current group's better final acuity results."

06/01/2011 - "This randomized prospective controlled trial confirms, according to other large trials in literature , the benefits of the LigaSure™ hemorrhoidectomy over conventional diathermy when a large tissue demolition is required, supporting the use of this device as treatment of choice in IV degree hemorrhoids, even if the procedure is more expensive than conventional operation."
06/01/2011 - "This randomized study is Fifty-two patients with IV-degree hemorrhoids were randomly assigned to two different surgical treatments (conventional diathermy vs. LigaSure™ hemorrhoidectomy). "
06/01/2010 - "This randomized study compared results obtained with the Ferguson's technique for the treatment of hemorrhoids performed with a radiofrequency (RF) scalpel and traditional diathermy. "
01/01/2009 - "Randomized controlled trials comparing hemorroidectomy using the Ligasure-technique with conventional diathermy techniques for symptomatic hemorrhoids in adult patients were included. "
