Hemostasis Using Surgicel in Pediatric Tonsillectomy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

Tonsillectomy is one of the commonest procedures performed in otolaryngology and one of its major complications is post-tonsillectomy bleeding.

The goal of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Surgicel without bipolar cautery in achieving primary hemostasis in tonsillectomy.

The study was a retrospective cohort in three tertiary care centers in xxxx, from January 2016 to August 2018. All patients underwent at least tonsillectomy, with a proportion undergoing additional adenoidectomy, myringotomy, or tube insertion as indicated, were enrolled in the study. Patients were stratified to 2 groups according to the surgeons preference for the hemostasis technique, one was subjected to cold dissection tonsillectomy and achieved hemostasis via the application of Surgicel to the surgical site, and the other underwent cold dissection tonsillectomy and attained hemostasis through bipolar cautery. ;
