NCT01904461

Brief Summary

The long-term objective of this study is to prove:

  • the equivalence of the number of post-operation hemorrhages, and maybe a decrease of the number of secondary hemorrhages
  • the decrease of pain and quicker re-feeding
  • an easier haemostasis
  • the simplification of the tonsillectomy surgical kit
  • the decrease of dissection time

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison of cauterization time to obtain the tonsillectomy wounds hemostasis using bipolar forceps between conventional surgery group and the vacuum device group

    Cauterization time (seconds) needed to obtain wounds tonsillectomy hemostasis using bipolar forceps(electric power of 20W)

    From the beginning to the end of a tonsillectomy: an expected average of 2 hours

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Assessment of the vacuum device hemostatic technique at his installation on the wound

    From the beginning to the end of a tonsillectomy: an expected average of 2 hours

  • Assessment between two arm of the postoperative pain until 10 days after the surgery

    10 days

  • Comparison of the time of the first complaint of pain after surgery between conventional surgery group and the vacuum device group

    Time between general anesthesia and discharge hospitalization: an average of one day

  • Comparison of surgery time between the 2 arm

    An expected average of 2 hours

  • Comparison between the 2 arms of re-feeding without pain (liquids,semi-liquids ands solids)

    Until 11 days after surgery

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)
