Summary
This study compared two ways to control bleeding during total thyroidectomy: using a device called LigaSure versus traditional knot tying. Researchers looked at whether LigaSure caused fewer injuries to the nerve that controls the voice box. The study involved 120 patients aged 18 to 60 with no prior neck surgery or voice issues.
