A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ultrasonic scalpel (Harmonic Focus) and Ligasure are effective for surgical dissection and hemostasis. Outcomes were similar to a previous study, with no significant differences in post-operative morbidity between the two energy-based devices.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Technology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Energy-Based Devices

    Background:

    • The Harmonic scalpel (Focus and Focus+) enables simultaneous surgical cutting and coagulation using ultrasound.
    • It facilitates minimally invasive procedures with minimal thermal spread and adjacent tissue destruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To update a 2014 study by analyzing thyroidectomy (TT) data from January 2014 to December 2016.
    • To compare the outcomes of ultrasonic scalpels versus the Ligasure device regarding safety, operative time, drainage, complications, and hospital stay.

    Main Methods:

    • 250 patients undergoing thyroidectomy were randomized into two groups.
    • Group A utilized the Ultrasonic scalpel (Harmonic Focus), and Group B used the Ligasure device.

    Main Results:

    • Outcomes for both devices in the 2014-2016 period were similar to the previous study.
    • A slight increase in asymptomatic hypocalcemia was observed in the recent patient cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Both the Ultrasonic scalpel and Ligasure are effective for hemostasis and tissue dissection.
    • The study confirms previous findings, showing no significant differences in post-operative morbidity between these energy-based devices.
