Aim
To compare the operating time, length of hospital stay, overall drainage volume
as well as surgical complications between the two techniques.
To perform a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing both surgical techniques of
sutureless and conventional thyroidectomy by virtue of direct cost incurred
involving both techniques and surgical outcome measures like length of
hospital stay, seroma or haematoma complications and nerve injury
Method
Retrospective comparative study
Group A (2000 2006) ~ Conventional knot tying
Group B (2006 2011) ~ Harmonic Scalpel
66 patients were selected randomly from the available database by selecting 10
patients at a time

Individual costs
Calculations for each individual according to the laboratory,
investigations performed, the costs of analgesia required, the length of
hospital stay and the post-operative care rounds performed by
involved personals based on their salary and time spent.
Consumables include the number of gauze used, drains and blades

Single use
By recycling the HS for 3 cycles, we found that there was a saving of RM521.56
(USD160) for each total thyroidectomy performed and a saving of RM62.81(USD20)
for each hemithyroidectomy performed using the sutureless method not significant
Despite significant reduction in operating time, the total cost using HS is
significantly higher if the instrument were used only once in hemithyroidectomy
(Total thyroid =RM618.44 and Hemithyroid =RM1077.19)
