Summary

Comparative Evaluation of LigaSure Versus Conventional Bipolar Diathermy in Thyroid Surgery: Operative and Postoperative Outcome.

Conditions

  • Thyroidectomy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

LigaSure

LigaSure is an advanced vessel-sealing system that uses pressure and bipolar energy with real-time feedback to seal vessels up to 7 mm. It limits thermal spread, provides consistent sealing, and reduces the need for sutures-making it distinct from standard bipolar diathermy and other energy devices.

PROCEDURE

bipolar diathermy

Bipolar diathermy uses two closely spaced electrodes to deliver controlled coagulation and cutting with minimal current spread. Unlike LigaSure or other advanced sealing devices, it lacks an automatic feedback system and does not fuse larger vessels, relying instead on direct thermal coagulation. It is simple, widely available, cost-effective, and suitable mainly for small-vessel hemostasis.

PROCEDURE

Thyroidectomy

Thyroidectomy is a standard surgical procedure for treating benign and malignant thyroid disorders.
