Which of the following is not a type of surgical energy device?

  1. Electrosurgery

  2. Laser surgery

  3. Ultrasound surgery

  4. Cryosurgery


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cryosurgery is a surgical technique that uses extreme cold to destroy tissue, while electrosurgery, laser surgery, and ultrasound surgery are all types of surgical energy devices.

What is the primary mechanism of action of electrosurgery?

  1. Thermal destruction

  2. Mechanical destruction

  3. Chemical destruction

  4. Electrical destruction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electrosurgery works by generating high-frequency electrical current, which causes tissue to heat up and be destroyed.

Which type of laser is commonly used in laser surgery?

  1. CO2 laser

  2. Nd:YAG laser

  3. Argon laser

  4. Excimer laser


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

CO2 lasers are commonly used in laser surgery because they can produce a precise and focused beam of energy that can be used to vaporize or cut tissue.

What is the primary mechanism of action of ultrasound surgery?

  1. Thermal destruction

  2. Mechanical destruction

  3. Chemical destruction

  4. Electrical destruction


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ultrasound surgery works by generating high-frequency sound waves, which cause tissue to vibrate and be destroyed.

Which type of surgical energy device is commonly used to remove skin lesions?

  1. Electrosurgery

  2. Laser surgery

  3. Ultrasound surgery

  4. Cryosurgery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electrosurgery is commonly used to remove skin lesions because it can provide precise control over the depth and extent of tissue destruction.

What is the primary mechanism of action of cryosurgery?

  1. Thermal destruction

  2. Mechanical destruction

  3. Chemical destruction

  4. Electrical destruction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cryosurgery works by freezing tissue, causing it to be destroyed.

Which type of surgical energy device is commonly used to perform laparoscopic surgery?

  1. Electrosurgery

  2. Laser surgery

  3. Ultrasound surgery

  4. Cryosurgery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electrosurgery is commonly used to perform laparoscopic surgery because it can provide precise control over the depth and extent of tissue destruction.

What is the primary mechanism of action of laser surgery?

  1. Thermal destruction

  2. Mechanical destruction

  3. Chemical destruction

  4. Electrical destruction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Laser surgery works by generating a high-energy beam of light, which causes tissue to vaporize or be cut.

Which type of surgical energy device is commonly used to perform open heart surgery?

  1. Electrosurgery

  2. Laser surgery

  3. Ultrasound surgery

  4. Cryosurgery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electrosurgery is commonly used to perform open heart surgery because it can provide precise control over the depth and extent of tissue destruction.

What is the primary mechanism of action of ultrasound surgery?

  1. Thermal destruction

  2. Mechanical destruction

  3. Chemical destruction

  4. Electrical destruction


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ultrasound surgery works by generating high-frequency sound waves, which cause tissue to vibrate and be destroyed.

Which type of surgical energy device is commonly used to perform endoscopic surgery?

  1. Electrosurgery

  2. Laser surgery

  3. Ultrasound surgery

  4. Cryosurgery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electrosurgery is commonly used to perform endoscopic surgery because it can provide precise control over the depth and extent of tissue destruction.

What is the primary mechanism of action of cryosurgery?

  1. Thermal destruction

  2. Mechanical destruction

  3. Chemical destruction

  4. Electrical destruction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cryosurgery works by freezing tissue, causing it to be destroyed.

Which type of surgical energy device is commonly used to perform brain surgery?

  1. Electrosurgery

  2. Laser surgery

  3. Ultrasound surgery

  4. Cryosurgery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electrosurgery is commonly used to perform brain surgery because it can provide precise control over the depth and extent of tissue destruction.

What is the primary mechanism of action of laser surgery?

  1. Thermal destruction

  2. Mechanical destruction

  3. Chemical destruction

  4. Electrical destruction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Laser surgery works by generating a high-energy beam of light, which causes tissue to vaporize or be cut.

Which type of surgical energy device is commonly used to perform plastic surgery?

  1. Electrosurgery

  2. Laser surgery

  3. Ultrasound surgery

  4. Cryosurgery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electrosurgery is commonly used to perform plastic surgery because it can provide precise control over the depth and extent of tissue destruction.
