A Comparison of the Incidence of Post Operative Bleeding Between Electric Cauterization and Suture Ligation Tonsillectomies
Charakom C 
Two-thousand one-hundred tonsillectomies performed from January 1980 to December
1995 by otolaryngologists at Pramongkutklao General Hospital were reviewed. The DissectionTyding
snare technique was used and hemostasis completed by electric cautery in 690 cases.
by suture ligature in 720 cases, by guaze packing alone as a control in 600 cases respectively.
It can be concluded that the use of suture ligature offers an efficient and practical
method to reduce the incidence of primary tonsillectomies bleeding.
