A comparison of the outcome using Ligasure™ small jaw and clamp-and-tie technique in thyroidectomy: a randomized single center study.
2015
Purpose
Hypoparathyroidism and paralysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) still remain the most frequent specific complications of thyroid surgery. This study evaluates the effects of employment of a recently introduced device (LigaSure™ Small Jaw, LSJ), compared to the traditional clamp-and-tie (CT) technique, on the short- and long-term outcome of the patients who underwent thyroidectomy.
