Abstract:
OBJECTIVE & HYPOTHESIS:Stated in the Null form: There will be no difference in primary or secondary hemorrhage rate in children undergoing tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy across three surgical techniques: PEAK Plasmablade, electric monopolar cautery, coblation. STUDY DESIGN:Retrospective chart analysis. SETTING:Academic Medical Center: Children's Hospital. SUBJECTS & METHODS:Electronic chart data were collected from patient's age 2-18 years who underwent tonsillectomy, with or without adenoidectomy, at a tertiary pediatric hospital between June 2011 to May 2013 by electric monopolar cautery, coblation, or PEAK PlasmaBlade. Treatment outcomes following each of these surgical approaches, relative to rate of post-operative primary and secondary bleeding, hospital admission, and emergency department visits were compared. RESULTS:A total of 1780 patients that had tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy were evaluated. There was a significant difference in bleed rate by age with older patients having more bleeding post-procedure than their younger counterparts. There was also a difference in bleeding frequency by diagnosis. Patients with a diagnosis of OSA were less likely to experience a postoperative bleed than children with either recurrent tonsillitis or both. Significance was evident between post-op hemorrhage rate and instrumentation (χ(2) = 11.17, df = 2, p = 0.004). The majority of bleeds occurred with coblation (58.9%), while PEAK had only 17.8% and cautery 23%. CONCLUSION:The null hypothesis was rejected. That is, PEAK PlasmaBlade was safe and effective, with statistically less postoperative bleeding and ED visits, especially when compared to coblation techniques. Coblation patients had the highest rates of postoperative bleeding.
