“…The high-frequency electric surgical knife is the most common instrument in surgical operations since use by Harvey Cushing in 1926 (2). With the increasing use of electrosurgical tools for tissue dissection, cutting, and homeostasis, fear of excessive scarring and impair wound healing have decreased the widespread use of diathermy (3). The concern of increased infection rates by the use of electrocautery and scar outcome lead to compare with a scalpel that provides an incision with well-wound healing (4).…”

“…In our study, we did not find difference in visual analogue score between both scalpel and diathermy groups but study done by Kadyan et al found that there is decrease in visual analogue score in first 24 hours or early post-operative pain but in Shamim study there is decrease pain perception in first 48 hours in diathermy group. 2,12…”

“…El bisturí convencional ha sido y es el instrumento más utilizado para realizar incisiones quirúrgicas en piel debido a su facilidad de uso, precisión y daño predecible a los tejidos circundantes. Sin embargo, una desventaja es el sangrado que altera la visualización del campo quirúrgico por hemorragia excesiva, lo que además aumenta el tiempo operatorio (Kadyan et al, 2014). Estas limitaciones han proporcionado una oportunidad para el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías quirúrgicas que transforman la energía eléctrica en oscilaciones de alta frecuencia y que liberan energía térmica.…”
