Fig. 2From: Thermal effects of monopolar electrosurgery detected by real-time infrared thermography: an experimental appendectomy studyA thermogram of the cecum (to the left of the black line) during mesoappendix (to the right of the black line) dissection. The temperature is given in degrees Celsius. Inside the red zone, the temperature is over 45 °C; outside the red zone, it is below 42 °C; at the border, the temperature is 42–45 °CBack to article page
