Analysis of Different Techniques of Tonsillectomy: An Insight

paythelady.61 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedure in otolaryngology especially in children. This is an age old procedure which has seen continuous changes in the surgical technique from guillotine method to snare technique to coblation tonsillectomy, and is still evolving day by day. But there are no consensus as to which technique is the best or most appropriate for tonsillectomy. The objective of this study is to compare three different surgical techniques of tonsillectomy namely the Cold dissection snare technique (CDST), Bipolar electro-dissection technique (BEDT) and Harmonic scalpel technique (HST) and to identify the method which is safe, with less operative time, which offers decreased intra-operative blood loss and with lowest post-operative morbidity and complications. This prospective and comparative study was conducted over a time duration of 1 year 6 months from January 2018 to July 2019 after the approval from ethical committee. Total 150 cases of tonsillectomy were done by dividing into three groups of 50 cases each. The study showed maximum cases of tonsillitis in the age group less than 10 years and the most common indication for tonsillectomy being chronic recurrent tonsillitis. Harmonic scalpel technique (HST) had least operative time, least intra-operative blood loss, took minimum time for resumption of normal diet and normal activity and also had least pain score on post-operative day 1st, 5th, 10th and 15th. STATISTICS: Kruskall-Wallis and the non-parametric Analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were applied to determine statistically significant variances. All the differences are found to be significant P < 0.05. Harmonic Scalpel Technique (HST) is the latest technique as it is associated with quicker procedure, less intraoperative blood loss and less post-operative pain.
