Abstract:
In experienced hands, ultrasonic shears had been found to be a useful tool in total thyroidectomy surgery as long as the safety precautions are adhered to closely. It has the advantage of minimising operating time and will eventually reduce the cost of surgery. A randomised controlled trial is thus suggested to further evaluate its efficacy.
