| Popis: | Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the mean per operative and post operative blood loss using harmonic scalpel and monopolar electrocautry in modified radical mastectomy. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration of Study: Department of surgery PNS Shifa Karachi, from 25th Oct 2011 to 24th Apr 2012. Material and Methods: A total of 64 patients, undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) were randomly divided into two groups of 32 patients each, using random numbers table. Dissection in group A was done using Harmonic Scalpel (HS). Group B underwent Monopolar Electrocautry (ME) for dissection and hemostasis. Mean per and post operative blood loss was calculated in milliliters. Results: Mean per operative and post operative blood loss using harmonic scalpel (group-A) was 121.19 ± 5.63 ml while 603.35 ± 8.04 ml loss was recorded in monopolar electrocautry group (group B). A p-value was calculated as |
