Business Editors/Health & Medical Writers

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas--(BW HealthWire)--Nov. 1, 2001

Donald S. Robbins, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Consortium Service Management Group Inc. (Pink Sheets:CTUM), a Texas corporation, announced today an additional 310 human surgeries at the Shalimov Institute of Surgery and Transplantology Hospital in Kiev, Ukraine using the CSMG platform medical device technology for bonding of live biological soft tissue. The surgeries were completed in 15 categories that included wedge resection of liver, removal of idiopathic cysts from liver, gall bladder gall bladder, small pear-shaped sac that stores and concentrates bile. It is connected to the liver (which produces the bile) by the hepatic duct. When food containing fat reaches the small intestine, the hormone cholecystokinin is produced by cells in the intestinal  surgery, enucleation enucleation /enu·cle·a·tion/ (e-noo?kle-a´shun) removal of an organ or other mass intact from its supporting tissues, as of the eyeball from the orbit.
Enucleation
Surgical removal of the eyeball.
 of the hemangioma hemangioma

Congenital benign tumour made of blood vessels in the skin. Capillary hemangioma (nevus flammeus, port-wine stain), an abnormal mass of capillaries on the head, neck, or face, is pink to dark bluish-red and even with the skin. Size and shape vary.
 of the liver, appendectomy Appendectomy Definition

Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix. The appendix is a worm-shaped hollow pouch attached to the cecum, the beginning of the large intestine.
, ovarian cyst removal, removal of the fibromyoma of the uterus, pancreatocystoenterostomy, puncture biopsy of pancreas, pericystectomy, open echinococcectomy, anastomosing hollow organs and inter-organ anastomoses. CSMG is experiencing consistently repeatable and reliable results on humans in our Ukraine clinical trials.

The surgeries consisted of both laparoscopic Laparoscopic

 and open surgeries. The Chief of the MIS Department at the Shalimov Institute of Surgery and Transplantology Hospital stated that in the surgeons opinion, "The use of the tissue welding technology makes it possible to simplify the technique of surgical intrusion, to reduce the time of surgery by 1.5 - 2 times, to reduce the blood loss and increases the reliability of surgeries."

CSMG, through its Ukraine partners International Association Welding "IAW," and E. O. Paton Institute of Electric Welding, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, has received permission and certification from the Ukraine Ministry of Health for marketing and distribution of its platform medical device technology for bonding of live biological soft tissue in the country of Ukraine.

The tissue bonding device bonds living soft biological tissue without the use of foreign matters or conventional wound closing devices such as sutures, staples, sealant, or glues. The technology leaves little or no scar tissue visible to the naked eye after a few months. Unlike other RF tissue coagulation coagulation (kōăg'ylā`shən), the collecting into a mass of minute particles of a solid dispersed throughout a liquid (a sol), usually followed by the precipitation or  methods that tend to destroy tissue by charring, searing and necrosis, the CSMG platform technology bonds together incised tissue and avoids charring, searing and necrosis using a low heat delivery method aimed at restoration of the normal functions of the live organ and tissue. United States and Foreign Patents are pending. CSMG maintains a highly regarded team of more than 20 researchers, surgeons, engineers, technicians and clinical test facilities in Ukraine and offices in Corpus Christi, Texas Corpus Christi is a coastal city and the county seat of Nueces CountyGR6 in the U.S. state of Texas. It is part of the region known as South Texas. , Oklahoma City and Kiev, Ukraine.

CSMG owns the exclusive world rights to the medical device platform technology.
