“…In terms of postoperative hemorrhage, neither group differed significantly from the other. The same result was obtained from a previous study held by Mosalam et al (15) who found that 1 (10%) case in Group A (group of traditional method) was complicated by hematoma, while no cases developed that complication in the other group (P =0.372).…”

“…Wound infection was lower in Group A than Group B but this difference was not statistically significant (P value =0.28). Mosalam et al (15) found that superficial surgical site infection was diagnosed in 1 (10%) case in each group, and they were managed by antibiotics in both cases. Post-operative seroma was lower in Ligasure group than traditional group as it was found in 1 (10%) case in Ligasure group and 2 (20%) cases in traditional group but this difference was not statistically significant (P =0.248).…”

Background: The ligasure (LS) system is a bipolar diathermy device used to close blood arteries with minimal heat damage to surround tissue. For both benign and malignant thyroid problems, total thyroidectomy is now the standard surgical treatment. Objective: The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ligasure small jaw approach versus the standard Clamp and tie method in thyroidectomy. Patients and methods: Our study is a randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in the General Surgery Department at Zagazig University Hospital on a sample of 30 cases. The patients were divided into 2 groups; Group A includes 15 patients underwent thyroidectomy using Ligasure small jaw technique, and Group B includes 15 patients underwent thyro4idectomy by using traditional Clamp and tie technique. Results: Drainage volume (ml)) among the study groups that ranged from 60 to 110 with mean 81.06 (SD 20.12) in Ligasure group and ranged from 80 to 140 with mean 100.33 (SD 23.48) in Clamp and tie technique group. Group A had significantly smaller drainage volume than Group B (P value 0.024). Postoperative complications occurred more with traditional Clamp and tie technique than Ligasure technique, with no statistically significant difference. Conclusion:When compared to the more common Clamp and tie method, the Ligasure technique reduces surgical time, blood loss during the procedure, the need for postoperative drainage or hematoma, the risk of parathyroid damage, and the risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
