Abstract: 【Abstract】〓Objective〓To investigate the clinical value of applying ultrasonic scalpel in the open thyroid surgery. Methods〓Based on the data collection of 120 cases of patients,we designed for use of ultrasonic scalpel in thyroid surgery 68 cases into the treatment group,and conventional thyroidectomy 52 cases as control group, both groups were performed by the same group surgeons. The factors of age, gender, disease constitution, resection specimen size, the length of incision, operative time,bleeding volume,postoperative drainage,surgical complications,postoperative pain, hospitalization time and cost were compared between the two groups,afterwards,it is evaluated the clinical application value of ultrasonic scalpel in the open thyroidectomy. Results〓All the procedures were completed successfully. In treatment group, the average length of incision was 4.54±1.61 cm, mean operation time was 61.27±10.44 min, average blood loss was 20.22±5.79 ml, the mean postoperative drainage was 39.26±11.00 ml, respectively, which had a statistical significance difference compared to the control group. Conclusion〓Use of ultrasonic scalpel in the open thyroid surgery can shorten the incision, decrease the operation time, bleeding and postoperative lead flux, which have a higher clinical application value.
