A parallel group analysis of tonsillectomy using the harmonic scalpel vs electrocautery.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate efficiency and postoperative morbidity in tonsillectomy using the harmonic scalpel (HS) vs conventional electrocautery (EC). DESIGN A retrospective medical chart review of all patients who underwent tonsillectomy at a single children's hospital during a 32-month period from January 2001 to August 2003. PATIENTS The charts of 605 patients who underwent tonsillectomy or ...

متن کاملHarmonic scalpel tonsillectomy versus hot electrocautery and cold dissection: an objective comparison.
We conducted a large-scale retrospective study to compare the surgical efficacy, practical utility, safety, and costeffectiveness of ultrasonic harmonic scalpel tonsillectomy, hot electrocautery, and cold surgical dissection. We based our findings on the length of operating time, complication rates, the length of hospital stay for patients with complications, and relative costs. We then compare...
