Comparison between Silk Ligation and Bipolar Cautery in Tonsillectomy
Background: Tonsillectomy is a commonly performed surgical procedure. There are several operative methods but the superiority of one over the other has not been clearly demonstrated. The aim of this study was to compare the morbidity associated with tonsillectomy using two different techniques for hemostasis – silk ligation versus diathermy. Material and Methods: This was an experimental study ...
متن کاملNeuroprotection due to irrigation during bipolar cautery.
OBJECTIVE To test whether irrigation during bipolar cautery confers thermoprotection from neuronal injury. DESIGN A rat animal model (15 rats for each treatment group) was used to test the thermoprotective effects of irrigation during bipolar cautery. In this model, the sciatic nerve was exposed, and a 1-second stimulus was applied using bipolar cautery forceps at 40 or 20 W placed directly o...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Micro-Bipolar Tonsillectomy
The combination of the microsurgical method using a microscope together with bipolar coagulation for tonsillectomy was fi rst described by Andrea [1]. A signifi cant reduction in postoperative morbidity was reported. A modifi ed technique with similar success in more than 1.000 tonsillectomies uses a new instrument which incorporates not only precise bipolar coagulation, but also suction and ex...
متن کاملCoblation Versus Bipolar Diathermy for Adult Tonsillectomy
Objective: To compare coblation and bipolar diathermy tonsillectomy in adults in terms of operative time, operative blood loss, post operative pain and post operative complications. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients (aged 18-40 years) scheduled for tonsillectomy were enrolled in this study, the patients were randomized using sealed envelopes to have one tonsil removed by coblation and the o...
متن کاملEvaluation of safety of bipolar diathermy tonsillectomy.
BACKGROUND Tonsillectomy is a common operation in both children as well as adults, performed by a variety of techniques that have evolved over the years to ensure the safety of the procedure. Cold dissection and electrodissection are the two mostly used techniques. Bipolar diathermy tonsillectomy was evaluated for its safety and postoperative morbidity. METHODS This study was conducted over a...
