Surgically separating tissues using a flow of water
Hydrodissection is the use of a directed jet of water to surgically separate tissues. It is generally used to develop tissue planes or divide soft tissues with less trauma than dissection using a cutting instrument. By using an appropriate pressure it will tend to follow the path of least resistance that is close to the direction of the jet.[1]
