Abstract

The aim of this randomized study is to evaluate the real benefits of the FOCUS Harmonic Scalpel in total thyroidectomies compared with conventional ligation, regarding operative time, postoperative blood loss, length of stay and complications. Furthermore, as never seen in other studies, we studied the effects of using the FOCUS during thyroidectomy analyzing the vocal production of patients before and after surgery.
