ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the feasibility of applying ultracision-harmonic scalpel in tonsillectomy.@*METHOD@#Thirty-one cases treated with tonsillectomy which applied with nasal endoscope and ultracision-harmonic scalpel (ultrasonic scalpel group) and 31 cases treated with routine operation (routine group) respectively. The operating time and blood loss during operation and the degree of pain and the region of inflammation humidity as well as hospitalization days were observed.@*RESULT@#All indexes in ultrasonic scalpel group were lower than that in the routine group, including operating time and blood loss during operation, and they were obviously difference in statistics (P < 0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#The application of ultracision-harmonic scalpel in tonsillectomy was safe, efficient and feasible, and would have a nice application prospect during ear-nose-throat operation.
