Introduction: Total thyroidectomy has been considered to be a treatment of choice for thyroid malignancies. It has recently gained popularity as gold standard for benign thyroid disorders requiring surgical treatment. Because of higher number of complications associated with total thyroidectomy, it is still considered an adventurous endeavor. Most important improvements in thyroid surgery include laparoscopic thyroidectomy, energy based devices (EBD) like Harmonic Focus® and LigaSure® for dissection and hemostasis, intraoperative neuromonitoring, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) assay technology. Aim of Study: Recent studies have suggested that despite lesser complication rates with LigaSure dissection method in total thyroidectomy, it is associated with prolonged operation time. Aim of our study was to compare conventional suture tie technique and LigaSure thyroidectomy, in terms of perioperative complications including bleeding, recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury, postoperative hematoma, hypocalcemia, operation time, and costeffectiveness.
