2]. Laparoscopic devices (LigaSure™ (LA), Valleylab, Boulder, CO, USA) or Caïman ((CA), B. Braun Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) are used to achieve easier tissue dissection and a faster surgery. LA and CA are electrothermal bipolar-activated devices which allow to seal vessels up to 7 mm in diameter. A feedback-controlled response system automatically discontinues energy and is delivered when the seal cycle is complete [
