简要总结
It was intended to practically establish whether or not the relatively newer technique of tonsillectomy like bipolar electrocautery tonsillectomy has any added benefits in reducing the duration of surgery, blood loss and post-operative pain as compared with conventional cold steel dissection method. This study was done to compare the outcomes of bipolar electrocautery tonsillectomy versus cold steel dissection pediatric tonsillectomy.

结局指标
主要结局
Postoperative pain
时间窗: 24 hours
Postoperative pain was measured at regular intervals (6-hourly till 24 hours) using the Wong-Baker faces pain rating scale.12 The Wong-Baker faces pain rating scale graded pain as mild (1-3), moderate (4-6), or severe (\>6).
Blood loss
时间窗: up to 24 hours
Intraoperative blood loss was measured by reading the levels given in the suction bottle at the end of surgery. The weight of dry gauze was subtracted from the wet, considering 1g=1ml.
Operative time
时间窗: 1 hour
Operative time was measured from the anterior pillar incision to the removal of the mouth gag.
