Blunt dissection describes the careful separation of tissues along tissue planes by either fingers or convenient blunt instruments during many diverse surgical procedures. Blunt dissection consumes a large proportion of time in most surgeries and has not changed significantly in centuries. It requires great skill, can be tedious, nerve-wracking, and risky. Repairs are often required [citation needed]. Blunt dissection is contrasted to sharp dissection, the practice of slicing through tissues with scalpels, scissors, electrosurgery, or other advanced technologies usually employing heat. New devices are expected to soon make blunt dissection safer, faster and easier[citation needed].
