Blunt dissection versus electronic molecular resonance bipolar dissection for tonsillectomy: Operative time and intraoperative and postoperative bleeding and pain

Comparison of post-tonsillectomy pain with two different types of bipolar forceps: Low temperature quantum molecular resonance device versus high temperature conventional electrocautery

“…PlasmaKnife was also tried but did not have any advantage in reducing postoperative pain [18]. In terms of operation time or intraoperative hemorrhage, newly developed devices could be better [9,12,19,20], although that is still controversial. Summarizing these results, no device or technique has been shown to be definitely advantageous for tonsillectomy.…”

“…There have been two reports about post-tonsillectomy pain using the QMR devices. One article [9] compared the QMR device and blunt dissection with cold instruments. The post-tonsillectomy pain using the QMR device was similar to that of the blunt dissection technique using cold instruments.…”

Post-tonsillectomy late haemorrhage: Is it a preferably night-time event?

“…The anaesthesiological procedure is that described in a previous paper [3]: all the interventions were performed under general endotracheal anaesthesia. About 20 min before surgery, the patients received premedication with a mixture of atropine sulfate 0.01 mg/kg and flunitrazepan 30-50 mcg/kg.…”

“…We use three typical surgical techniques already described in the literature [3]. Post-intervention analgesia was obtained by administering Lonarid (paracetamol, caffeine and codeine) or Contramal (tramadol) drops in relation to patient weight.…”

Is speech therapy useful as a complementary treatment for post-tonsillectomy pain?

“…The aims of all previous studies depended on local or systemic medications. Several local or systemic complications and side effects of these drugs were reported [20][21][22].…”
