Estudo comparativo entre duas técnicas de tonsilectomia: bisturi harmônico (Ultracision) e dissecção tradicional com bisturi de lâmina fria

Abstract: Tonsi lectomia é a cirurgia realizada com maior frequência na clínica otorrinolaringológica. As modificações e as evoluções da técnica ocorrem no sentido de simplificar o procedimento e minimizar as complicações. O bisturi harmônico (Ultracision) começou a ser utilizado na Otorrinolaringologia em 1999 para tonsilectomia com bons resultados. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o tempo cirúrgico, sangramento e hemostasia trans-operatórios, dor pós-operatória, aspecto cicatricial da loja tonsilar e int… Show more

“…We chose to evaluate only the palatine tonsils of children with an indication for tonsillectomy for recurrent tonsillitis or hypertrophy, according to well defined clinical criteria. Children have a high activity and amount of lymphatic tissue, and both hypertrophy and recurrent tonsillitis are very frequent 6 , 7 , 9 .…”

“…This technique has been recommended and is a well-accepted method for soft tissue incisions when the aim is to control bleeding and minimize thermal injury (complementing or replacing electrocautery, laser or even the cold scalpel), and it allows simultaneous cutting and coagulation. Because this method does not use an electrical current, the harmonic scalpel eliminates the risk of burns and it is easy to install and handle, leading to decreased surgical time (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) . The vessel sealing device seals vessels by fusing the inner layers of the vessel wall with minimal levels of thermal dispersion, burning and tissue friction, thereby reducing the incidence of accidental burns (6) .…”
