Abstract

Objectives: The BiZact device offers precise and versatile functionality for tonsillectomies. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the BiZact instrument for tonsillectomies.

Methods: The researchers used the PRISMA guidelines to retrieve relevant articles from PubMed, Embase and Web of Science. Eight articles were aggregated and examined for this systematic review.

Results: The BiZact device shortens operative time when compared to cold dissection and bipolar electrocautery, where no difference was found when compared to coblation. Intra-operative bleeding was decreased with BiZact tonsillectomy compared to cold dissection and electrocautery, although bleeding was slightly increased when compared to coblation.

Conclusion: The BiZact instrument is an alternative tonsillectomy device that may shorten surgical time as well as reduce intra-operative blood loss. More studies are needed to conduct a meta-analysis directly comparing surgical outcomes of the BiZact device to other techniques.

一种新的扁桃体切除装置在成人和儿童耳鼻喉科的概述：系统和全面的文献综述。

目的：BiZact设备为扁桃体切除术提供精确和多功能的功能。本研究的目的是评估BiZact器械在扁桃体切除术中的有效性和安全性。方法：采用PRISMA指南从PubMed、Embase和Web of Science检索相关文章。本系统综述汇总并检查了八篇文章。结果：与冷解剖和双极电灼相比，BiZact装置缩短了手术时间，与消融相比没有差异。与冷剥离和电灼相比，BiZact扁桃体切除术术中出血减少，尽管与消融相比出血略有增加。结论：BiZact器械是一种可替代的扁桃体切除器械，可缩短手术时间，减少术中出血量。需要更多的研究来进行荟萃分析，直接比较BiZact设备与其他技术的手术结果。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money.
