Thyroidectomy Complications after Ligasure Small Jaw Use, Case Series, Prospective Study

The Ligasure Small Jaw serves as an effective hemostatic device, but it requires more attention in complete thyroidectomy. During a complete thyroidectomy, the Ligasure Small Jaw's lateral heating action may affect delicate structures more often than reported. Such damage could lead to hypocalcemia, which could be temporary or permanent, and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. More research would provide greater insights into the anticipated complication rates, particularly when conducted by less experienced specialized surgeons.
