Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Ultrasonically activated shears enable the effective cutting and hemostasis of tissue, and have been shown to offer significant benefits in surgical procedures requiring fine dissection. Harmonic Focus®, one of the latest ultrasonic devices, is a clip-like, light-weight, hand-held instrument with curved thin shears. Experience with Harmonic Focus in pancreatic surgery is limited. We have performed more than 1,000 pancreatic resections with this device. It may well represent a valuable tool for the extensive tissue and vascular dissection that is required in pancreaticoduodenectomy. In particular, Harmonic Focus performs very well in lymph node dissection, which is central in cancer surgery. In this report, we describe pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic-head and periampullary cancer with the Harmonic Focus device.
