In Open Thyroidectomy, the Focus Harmonic Scalpel was Compared to Other Hemostatic Techniques
Author(s): Palle Jorgensen*
The goal of this study was to compare the efficacy and surgical outcomes of total thyroidectomy performed with the Focus Harmonic scalpel
(Ethicon, Cincinnati, OH) versus other hemostatic procedures. The operating time, blood loss, pain, complications, and length of hospital stay were
all assessed. The Focus Harmonic scalpel reduced operative time by 22,428 minutes and blood loss by 13,914 mL when compared to conventional
techniques or the LigaSure Precise Vessel Sealing System (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN). The Focus Harmonic scalpel group had a significantly
shorter hospital stay, with a mean reduction of 0.410 days... Read More»
