Abstract

  The application of Ligasure vessel sealing system in head and neck surgery has been currently published in many studies. The results published were reported to be reliable and safe. Since 2018, the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery in Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital performed applications of Ligasure in head and neck surgery for the first time and may have shown several advantages and benefits. In this presentation, we give a brief overview of first patients who underwent operation with the use of Ligasure. In our department, Ligasure is used for selective or modified radical neck dissection, thyroidectomy, superficial parotidectomy.
