Methods: Between November 2006 and July 2009, the data were retrospectively collected from 600 consecutive total thyroidectomies by one surgeon. All cases were divided into 3 groups based on the method of hemostasis: classic group patients underwent total thyroidectomy with the conventional clamp-and-tie technique Ligasure group patients underwent total thyroidectomy with the Ligasure TM system (electrothermal bipolar vessel sealing system) and the Harmonic group patients underwent total thyroidectomy with a Harmonic TM scalpel (ultrasonic cutting and coagulating surgical device). We compared the clinical outcomes with respect to the operative time, amount and duration of drainage, hospital stay, and post-operative complications. Results: The three groups were similar with respect to clinical and demographic characteristics, with the exception of invasiveness. The mean operative time of the Harmonic group was significantly shorter than the other 2 groups (P <0.001) specifically, 75 min in the Harmonic group, 87 min in the Ligasure group, and 120 min in the classic group. The amount of drainage in the Harmonic group was greater than the other groups (P<0.001). Similarly, the duration of drainage and hospital stay of the Harmonic group were 책임저자 : 김제룡, 대전시중구대사동 , 충남대학교병원외과 Tel: , Fax: kimjr@cnuh.co.kr 게재승인일 :2009 년 11 월 2 일 longer than the other groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the three groups. Conclusion: Hemostasis during thyroidectomy by the Harmonic TM scalpel or Ligasure TM system was safe and timesaving. Therefore, the Harmonic TM scalpel and Ligasure TM system will be available for thyroid surgery as alternative techniques for the clamp-and-tie technique.

Manouras 등 (28) 과 Sartori 등 (29) 이각각발표한논문에서위에서말한두가지의새로운수술기구와전통적방법에의한갑상선절제술에대해서전자는후향적그리고후자는전향적으로비교연구하였는데, 그결과후향적연구에서는 Ligasure군과 Harmonic군모두전통적방법에비해수술시간은유의하게감소하였으며, 이두개의그룹간에는차이가없었고합병증발생률이나재원기간에있어서는세개의그룹모두유의한차이를보이지않았다. 따라서두가지기구를전통적인봉합사결찰법이나클립을대체하여사용할수있으리라생각되고, 또그선택은술자의선호도에따라달라질수있다. 한편, 전향적연구에서는조금다른결과를보였는데수술시간에있어서 Harmonic군에서만다른두군에비해유의하게감소한것을볼수있었고, Ligasure군에서는통계적유의성은없지만전통적방법에비해오히려수술시간이긴것을볼수있다. 수술중출혈량이나회귀후두신경마비에서는모든그룹에서유의한차이가없었던반면에, 저칼슘혈증의경우 Harmonic군에서높은발생률을보이고있어수술중부갑상선조직에가까운부분을박리할때에는특히세심한주의를기울여야한다고주장하였다.(29) 이번연구에서도역시수술시간의단축에있어서는 Harmonic군이월등한것으로나타났다. 수술후합병증발생률에서는단지회귀후두신경마비에서약간의차이를보였다. 한편, 배액량과배액관유지및재원기간에서는 Harmonic군이다른두개의그룹보다많고, 긴것으로나타났는데이는외과의가 Harmonic을선택하는것을망설이도록하는요소가될수있다. Harmonic의편리성을생각하면당연한선택일수있으나재원기간이길어진다면비용-효과측면에서그유용성이떨어질것이기때문이다. 결론본연구에서는 Ligasure에의한지혈방법이전통적인지혈방법보다, Ligasure에의한지혈방법보다는 Harmonic에의한지혈방법이각각수술시간을단축시키면서도합병증의발생에서는유의한차이를보이지않아유용하면서도그안전성에있어서는동등하다는것을알수있었다. 한편, Harmonic군에서수술후배액량이상대적으로많고재원기간이길어지는단점에대해서는림프관결찰을전통적지혈방법으로배액량의감소시킨다거나배액량에관계없이출혈의징후가없다면배액관을조기에제거하는것으로보완할수있을것으로생각된다. 그러나수술후합병증에관한통계학적증명에서는그유의성을의심하게되는것은본연구의한계라고할수 있다. 특히, 배액량과의관계에있어서암조직의주변조직에대한침윤여부와갑상선비대증의동반여부를고려하지않은점이지적될수있을것이다. 이번연구를바탕으로앞으로의연구에서는동일한디자인으로조직형태및침윤여부에따라더욱세부적으로그룹을나누어연구를시행한다면좀더신뢰성있는결과를얻을수있을것이라생각한다.
