Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Compare the treatment results of Plasma knife tonsillectomy with classical tonsillectomy at Ho Chi Minh City Hospital in 2020 by descriptive cross-sectional method. Methods: Crossectional study with 100 patients with plasma knife tonsillectomy and 36 patients with classic tonsillectomy. Result: The Plasma group had an average surgical time shortened by nearly 7 minutes (reduced by 31.6%), the median blood loss was 5ml in the plasma knife surgery group, nearly 5 times less than the classic tonsillectomy, recorded 0/100 patients in the tonsillectomy group bleeding within 24 hours, compared with 4/36 patients with classic tonsillectomy with the difference in the two groups was statistically significant (p<0.001). The level of postoperative pain in the tonsillectomy group with plasma was 19.98%, 35.47% and 60% lower, respectively, on days 1, 5 and 12 after surgery than in the classic group (with p<0.001). The average number of days patients returned to normal work/school was after 7.19 days in the plasma surgery group, 1 day lower (p<0.001), the average number of days after eating and drinking stopped pain after 8 days. .95 days in the plasma surgery group, 1.59 days faster recovery in the classical surgery group (p<0.05). Conclusion and recommendations: The hospital needs to inform patients about the treatment results of different methods through seminars, scientific reports and the hospital's media: website, facebook, Fanpage
