Harmonic scalpel is set to save lives

Surgeons at Cheltenham General Hospital can perform keyhole surgery on bowel cancer patients for the first time.  Cheltenham Lions Club raised £7,000 to buy a harmonic scalpel, meaning patients can have less invasive surgery and a quicker recovery time.  It can cut through tissue and seal blood vessels, so that the cut doesn't bleed at all.   On average patients should recover three days earlier.
