A comparative study between bipolar cuttery and conventional suture ligation for hemostasis in total thyroidectomy for benign thyroid disease

Background: Over the last years many surgeons have begun to use energy based devices perform thyroid surgery, several literatures demonstrated benefits of these over traditional techniques, they can provide a combined dissection and hemostatic effect particularly advantageous in reduction incision length, operative time, blood loss complications. Aim study: Compare bipolar cautery suture ligation hemostasis during complete thyroidectomy nerve damage, operating hypocalcemia, post-operative hematoma development, hospital stay. Patients Method: In this study 61 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy, were divided into two groups according type hemostasis: group conventional group, different diseases included (multinodular goiter, solitary nodule), compared regard complications length Results: The had shorter operation time (67.36±9.77 min) lower (55.78±14.45 ml) than (91.09±27.37 ml). Other outcomes formation, recurrent laryngeal injury, hypoxia. Conclusion: Using device reduced loss, without any change incidence
