| Popis: | Metal surgical clips are commonly used in head and neck surgery today. In this study of 10 patients, 69 vessels in the neck were ligated with tantalum clips and 68 vessels were ligated with silk ties. The times for cutting and ligating each vessel were recorded and the results show a 31-second timesavings by clipping the vessel as opposed to tying. The use of metal clips on vessels is found to be both safe and effective, while reducing operative time. |
