Thermal sealing systems with and without tissue divider for total thyroidectomy

Abstract

The incorporation of a tissue divider into thermal sealing devices is efficacious and safe, with no compromise in clinical outcome, while providing the added benefit of a significant reduction in operative times.

Risk factors for post-thyroidectomy haematoma

“…Several local series have published data on rates of haematoma in Australian populations, with rates ranging between 0.9 and 3.5 per cent. [23][24][25] However, the definition of post-operative haemorrhage lacked consistency. Several papers (with a similar sample size to our study) defined post-operative bleeding as an unplanned return to the operating theatre for evacuation of haematoma, which is comparable to the current study.…”

Update on sutureless thyroidectomy

“…Primary endpoint of changes is to compare the data between the two studies and understand if it possible to confirm the results of our first study. is study is a prospective one as the previous and the data analyzed are: analysis of complications, surgical time, overall drainage volume and average time of hospitalization (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27).…”
