Abstract
Introduction: The ligasure small jaw (LISJ) has many advantages for thyroid surgery hemostasis. Other complications, however, remain at the same level or are even greater than with conventional treatment.
Material and methodology: Between March and December of 2022, I analyzed complications following total thyroidectomy (TTH). Patients were evaluated prospectively for case control study. including hypocalcemia (HC) and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLND) palsy.
Results: all patients suffered from postoperative (HC) with Ca supplement with Vid D.one patient suffered with stridor after extubation.
Conclusion: To reduce the complication rate during thyroid surgery with a small jaw, more surgical expertise is required. In terms of (RLND) palsy and (HC), the current literature does not demonstrate a safety advantage of (LISJ) over conventional thyroid surgery that would justify a price increase.
