  • Usefulness of the Harmonic Scalpel in Thyroid Surgery
    ORIGINAL ISSN: 2005-162X J Korean Thyroid Assoc 2012 November 5(2): 138-142 ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.11106/jkta.2012.5.2.138 Usefulness of the Harmonic Scalpel in Thyroid Surgery Hwan Choe, Kwang-Yoon Jung, Soon-Young Kwon, Jeong-Soo Woo, Min Woo Park and Seung-Kuk Baek Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea Background and Objectives: The harmonic scalpel using the ultrasonic energy is able to grasp and divide tissue while sealing small vessels in narrow operating fields. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of the harmonic scalpel in thyroid surgery. Materials and Methods: This study was performed for 247 patients who underwent thyroidectomy. According to the use of harmonic Scalpel, the patients could be divided into two groups: the conventional technique (CT) group of knot tying and the harmonic scalpel (HS) group. Results: For hemithyroidectomy, operation time and hospital stay were shorter in the HS group compared with the CT group (p＜0.05). For total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection (CND), operation time, total drainage volume, drain removal date, and hospital stay were significantly reduced in the HS group (p＜0.05). Among the patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with CND with the HS, one patient (2.9%) showed transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. Transient hypoparathyroidism showed significantly lower incidence in the HS group (p＜0.05). Conclusion: HS might be cost-effective by reducing operation time and hospital stay

  • The Basic Surgery Kit
    GLOBAL EXCLUSIVE > SURGERY > PEER REVIEWED The Basic Surgery Kit Jan Janovec, MVDr, MRCVS VRCC Veterinary Referrals Laurent Findji, DMV, MS, MRCVS, DECVS Fitzpatrick Referrals Considering the virtually limitless range of surgical instruments, it can be difficult to assemble a cost-effective basic surgery kit. Some instruments may misleadingly appear multipurpose, but their misuse may damage them, leading to unnecessary replacement costs or, worse, intraoperative accidents putting the patient’s safety at risk. Many instru- ments are available in different qualities and materials (eg, tungsten carbide instruments— more expensive but much more resistant to wear and corrosion than stainless steel) and Minimal Basic Surgery Kit varied sizes to match the purpose of their use as well as the size of the surgeon’s hand. n 1 instrument case Cutting Instruments n 1 scalpel handle Scalpel n 1 pair Mayo scissors The scalpel is an indispensible item in a surgical kit designed to make sharp incisions. Scalpel incision is the least traumatic way of dissection, but provides no hemostasis. n 1 pair Metzenbaum scissors Scalpel handles come in various sizes, each accommodating a range of disposable n 1 pair suture scissors blades (Figure 1). Entirely disposable scalpels are also available. n 1 pair Mayo-Hegar needle holder Scissors n 1 pair Brown-Adson tissue forceps Scissors are used for cutting, albeit with some crushing effect, and for blunt dissection. n 1 pair DeBakey tissue forceps Fine scissors, such as Metzenbaum scissors (Figure 2), should be reserved for cutting n 4 pairs mosquito hemostatic forceps and dissecting delicate tissues. Sturdier scissors, such as Mayo or suture scissors, are designed for use on denser tissues (eg, fascia) or inanimate objects (eg, sutures, drapes).

  • THERMAL SCALPEL SYSTEM MODEL PRECISION 8400 (P8400) HANDLE Part Number 7013-8050
    THERMAL SCALPEL SYSTEM MODEL PRECISION 8400 (P8400) HANDLE Part Number 7013-8050 For use with the Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System Model P8400 Controller OPERATING MANUAL INTRODUCTION HEMOSTATIX THERMAL SCALPEL BLADES are similar in size, shape, and sharpness to traditional steel scalpel blades; however, Hemostatix blades can be heated to a user- selected temperature appropriate for sealing small vessels as they are cut. To cut and simultaneously seal blood vessels effectively with minimum tissue damage, the sharp steel cutting edge of a heated scalpel blade must be uniformly maintained at the desired temperature within narrow limits. The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System utilizes micro-circuitry incorporated within the blade itself to maintain the cutting edge temperature within the necessary tolerance, selectively delivering additional thermal energy only to those regions of the blade using heat due to tissue contact. By so doing, the Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System automatically compensates for the varying degrees of heat loss that occur during surgical procedures (depending on the type of tissue being incised and the rate at which cutting is carried out), maintaining the cutting edge in the desired temperature range. In contrast with electrosurgical devices, the Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System passes no electrical current through the patient, and there is no sparking or electrical arcing to the tissue. Electrosurgical devices “cut” and/or cauterize using electrical currents which pass through the patient vaporizing tissue at the point of contact and generating heat and tissue damage down the path of the electrical current. The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System cuts tissue with a sharpened steel edge, like a conventional cold-steel scalpel blade, and simultaneously seals blood vessels using heat thermally conducted to the tissue from an elevated-temperature blade which is electrically insulated from the patient.

  • National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence
    242 NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CLINICAL EXCELLENCE INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES PROGRAMME Interventional procedures overview of tonsillectomy using ultrasonic scalpel Introduction This overview has been prepared to assist members of the Interventional Procedures Advisory Committee (IPAC) in making recommendations about the safety and efficacy of an interventional procedure. It is based on a rapid review of the medical literature and specialist opinion. It should not be regarded as a definitive assessment of the procedure. Date prepared This overview was prepared in August 2005. Procedure names • Harmonic scalpel for tonsillectomy. • Ultrasonic scalpel. • Ultrasound activated scalpel. Specialty society British Association of Otorhinolaryngologists, Head and Neck Surgeons. Description Indications Indications for tonsillectomy include recurrent acute or chronic tonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess and pharyngeal obstruction/obstructive sleep apnoea. Life-threatening complications of these conditions are rare and the main aim of surgery is to relieve symptoms. Current treatment and alternatives Surgical removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy) is one of the most common surgical procedures in the UK. The operation is performed in many different ways but can be broadly divided into two stages: removal (either complete or partial) of the tonsil, followed by control of bleeding (haemostasis). Traditional ‘cold steel’ tonsillectomy consists of two stages: removal of the tonsil followed by haemostasis. Bleeding is controlled by pressure, then by ligatures. The use of ligatures may be supplemented by diathermy and the use of packs. Diathermy uses radiofrequency energy applied directly to the tissue, and can be bipolar (current passes between the two tips of the forceps) or monopolar (current passes between the forceps tips and a plate attached to the patient’s skin).
