Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to compare harmonic scalpel and cold knife tonsillectomy techniques with respect to duration of operation, amount of bleeding, and postoperative pain. Patients and Methods: Records of 40 patients (21 males, 19 females; mean age 6.8 years; range 3 to 15 years) who underwent harmonic scalpel or cold knife tonsillectomy at our clinic between January 2014 and March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Both groups were compared in terms of intra- and postoperative bleeding amount, duration of operation, and pain scores at days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of duration of operation, intra- and postoperative bleeding amount, and pain scores. Conclusion: Harmonic scalpel is a helpful surgical instrument, which can be used safely by experienced otolaryngologists in tonsillectomy procedures, reducing bleeding and decreasing duration of operation.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada harmonik bıçak ve soğuk bıçak tonsillek- tomi teknikleri ameliyat süresi, kanama miktarı ve ameliyat sonrası ağrı açısından karşılaştırıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2014 - Mart 2014 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde harmonik bıçak veya soğuk bıçak ton- sillektomi uygulanan 40 hastanın (21 erkek, 19 kız; ort. yaş 6.8 yıl; dağılım 3-15 yıl) kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelen- di. Her iki grup ameliyat sırası ve sonrası kanama miktarı, ameliyat süresi ve 1, 3, 5, 7. ve 10. gün ağrı skorları açısından karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Gruplar arasında ameliyat süresi, ameliyat sırası ve sonrası kanama miktarı ve ağrı skorları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık vardı. Sonuç: Harmonik bıçak, deneyimli KBB hekimleri tarafın- dan tonsillektomi işlemleri sırasında güvenle kullanılabilecek, kanamayı azaltıp ameliyat süresini kısaltabilen yardımcı bir cerrahi enstrümandır.
