Abstract

Tonsillectomy is a surgical technique of a long history. BiZact is one of the instruments developed lately for this surgery. In this article, we report our impressions on a four-year-old boy, a four-year-old girl, a 28-year-old male and a 35-year-old male patient who were performed tonsillectomy using BiZact. Uvular thermal injury was seen in one of the children, and one of the adults had a secondary hemorrhage on the postoperative fifth day. Given the relatively new introduction of BiZact into the tonsillectomy field, we wished to share our experience, although a very limited number of cases were studied.
