Objective: To determine whether harmonic scalpel has any advantage over monopolar diathermy tonsillectomy or not in terms of blood loss, duration of surgery, pain scores and slough separation time. Study Design: Double Blind Cross Sectional study. Setting: Faisalabad Medical University and Affiliated Institutions. Period: April 2022 to September 2022. Material & Methods: Seventy patients were selected and divided by Random sampling into two groups to be operated either with Harmonic Scalpel or Monopolar Diathermy. The difference between the two groups was assessed in terms of pain scores, slough separation time, duration of surgery and blood loss between the two groups. Results: Patients results showed statistical significant difference in the two groups in terms of slough separation time and pain scores but there was no significant difference in terms of blood loss and duration of surgery. Conclusion: Harmonic scalpel does have an advantage over diathermy tonsillectomy as far as early healing is concerned and thus certainly helps in reducing the morbidity of the patients.
