Analyzing Electrical Data Patterns from Different Female Surgical Procedures Using the Erbe ESU VIO 3 Device

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating electrical data patterns generated during different types of electrosurgical procedures to identify unique digital fingerprints for each intervention. This study aims to differentiate surgical workflows by analyzing high-accuracy electrical measurement data collected from the Erbe ESU VIO 3 device, with the goal of enhancing clinical training and procedure understanding. The study is observational and does not assess device performance or safety but collects and assigns electrical data only. During surgeries such as supra cervical hysterectomy, total hysterectomy, and breast-conserving surgeries including B-plastic with periareolar mastopexy or segmental resection, the VIO 3 device will be connected to a data transmitter that records electrical signals. These data are forwarded via network connections and stored securely in the cloud without patient information. The study also includes data from other procedures categorized as unknown types to build a comprehensive database. Participants will undergo one of the specified surgeries, during which electrical data will be collected. Researchers will analyze these data during and after surgery over a 12-month period to identify characteristic patterns. No patient information is stored with the electrical data, and no changes to usual surgical care occur. This study is conducted at a single center and aims to improve future training and self-reflection for surgical users based on the collected data patterns.
