NCT ID: NCT03984851 Completed - Surgical Blood Loss Clinical Trials

Hemostasis Using Surgicel in Pediatric Tonsillectomy

Start date: January 1, 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

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 patient that were enrolled in this retrospective study were patients who underwent tonsillectomy and achieved hemostasis either by Surgicel (group A) or bipolar cautery (group B). Our results showed that there was no statistical significant difference between the two techniques in terms of post-operative bleeding events.
