Introduction: The hemostasis of the QMR device is completed by triggering the denaturation of the protein fibrinogen to coagulate after breaking cell molecular bindings. Thus, the present study was undertaken to compare morbidity and complications associated with tonsillectomy by molecular resonance generator and conventional tonsillectomy in the randomly selected two group of patients. Materials and Methods: The present study was among 80 Patients attending ENT OPD who were identified as candidates for tonsillectomy and were randomly selected for tonsillectomy procedure by Molecular resonance generator and Conventional method. Postoperative pain was assessed on first, second and seventh postoperative day. The pain was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS). The episodes of postoperative bleeding from the tonsillar fossa were documented including the day on which it occurrs and the interventions required to stop it. Results: 60-75 percent of patients said that the tonsillectomy by MGR was more painful overall, than the other which conventional was used. Other thirty percent said that conventional method was more painful and this was statistically significant. Pain was measured by VAS scale. Under this scale the mean pain averaged over 7days was 5.487 with MRG and 5.076 for conventional method. There was no case of reactionary or secondary hemorrhage in both MRG and conventional method. Conclusion: To conclude, tonsillectomy by molecular resonance generator method is easy to perform and it is safer with significant advantages in terms of postoperative morbidity. But the only deterring factor in the regular usage of molecular resonance generator method is the cost factor which has to be overcome. |
