Abstract

|
Background and Objectives: Thunderbeat (TB) and Harmonic scalpel (HS) have been applied to variable head and neck surgery, which are useful for both coagulation and cutting of tissues. However, there have been no comparative studies covering the usefulness of these energy devices in surgery for major salivary gland. In this study, we analyzed the surgical outcomes of two devices in surgery for parotidectomy and submandibular gland (SMG) resection. Materials and
Methods: A retrospective chart review of 90 patients including two groups (HS group, n=45 versus TB group, n=45) of patients matched for their patient factors was conducted. Clinicopathologic factors of the patients and surgical outcomes such as the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, amount and duration of drain, hospital stay and complications were compared between two groups.
Results: There were no significant difference between two groups regarding the clinicopathologic factors and short-term surgical outcomes.
Conclusion: Thunderbeat and HS are both effective and safe for parotidectomy and SMG resection in variable benign disease of major salivary gland.
