Abstract Background Both ultrasonic coagulation (Harmonic Scalpel)(HS) and bipolar
coagulation (Ligasure)(LS) are new energy devices commonly used in open thyroidectomy …

Several new technologies have advanced the practice of thyroid surgery in recent years,
with some centers implementing substantial changes in the way thyroid surgery is …

The aim of this prospective randomized trial was to compare operative factors, postoperative
outcomes and surgical complications of open total thyroidectomy when using the Harmonic …

Background. Hemostasis during thyroidectomy is essential; however, the safest, most
efficient, and most cost-effective way to achieve this is unclear. This randomized, multicenter …

Objective The ultrasonic scalpel is a surgical shear that uses high-frequency mechanical
energy to enable simultaneous vessel sealing and tissue coagulation at the same time. We …

OBJECTIVE: The ultrasonic scalpel is a surgical shear that uses high-frequency mechanical
