Olympus SurgMaster TURis System The Olympus SurgMaster resectoscope is based on the Olympus OES Pro conventional resectoscope but allows the surgeon to perform TURis – transurethral resection in saline - to overcome many of the risks inherent in monopolar electrosurgery. By exchanging only the working element, HF cable and electrodes, Olympus OES Pro resectoscopes can be upgraded for resection in saline, thereby supporting both, standard TUR and TURis.

The flow of current through the patient’s body, from the working electrode to the patient plate, is one of the major risks of conventional monopolar electrosurgery. Olympus SurgMaster integrates both electrodes within the resectoscope, which is used with a physiological saline for irrigation, thus significantly reducing the risk of ’TUR syndrome’.  Conventional electrosurgery requires a non-ionic distension medium, with the potential risk of more iatrogenic complications, such as hyponatraemia and cerebral oedema, which have all been reported from the use of glycine, sorbitol and manitol.
