Abstract：Objective To explore the advantages of high-frequency electric scalpel for tonsillectomy .Meth-ods A retrospective analysis of clinical data was made in 128 cases of tonsillectomy from June 2010 to June 2013 in our hospital.The 63 cases who received tonsillectomy by tranditional operation were chosen as control group , and 65 cases who received tonsillectomy by high-frequency electric scalpel were chosen as observation group .A comparison was made in the opetative time , intraoperative bleeding volume , the postoperative recovery time of normal diet , the duration of pain , the fall-off time of pseudomembrane and the pain score between two groups .Results The operative time, intraoperatice bleeding volume , the postoperative recovery time of normal diet and the duration of pain in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05 ) , and its fall-off time of pseudomembrane was significantly longer ( P<0.01 ) .The excellent rate of pain score in observation group was 96.9%(63/65), it was 34.9%(22/63) in the control group, there was significant differences between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion The high-frequency electric scalpel can shorten the operative time , reduce the intra-operative bleeding volume and accelerate postoperative rehabilitation .It has obvious advantages compared with trandi-tional tonsillectomy .
