Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the value and the operative skill of ultrasonic activated shears(UAS)in thyroid surgery.

Methods

The clinical datum of 953 patients receiving thyroidectomy in our department between June 1998 and June 2005 were into two groups,506 patients were used new method into UAS group,447 patients were used traditional method into traditional group.

Results

Mean operating time UAS group was 76(45~130)min,that in traditional group was 113(82~183)min.Mean quantity of operating bleeding in UAS group was 26(5~148)ml,that in traditional group was 64(31~700)ml.Mean time of postoperative hospitalization in UAS group was 4(2~6)days,that in traditional group was 4.5(3~6)days.

Conclusion

It is convenient to master UAS.Compared with convertional method,the method reduces operating time in thyroid surgery,length of incision and quantity of postoperative bleeding,but extended time of stay of the incicion drainpipe and cost little more hospitalization expense.The rate of complications is as same as convertional method.Therefore,it is safe and effective in thyroid surgery.
