"Cold Steel Versus Hot BiZact Tonsillectomy; Comparing Post Tonsillectomy Morbidity"

"In the hot group the peritonsillar space is dissected and sealed in one step by a bipolar instrument (BiZactTM). The instrument uses Valley Lab adjustable bipolar energy. Energy is automatically adjusted and delivered to the tissue in order minimize thermal tissue damage and seal blood vessels less than 3mm in diameter while dividing the soft tissue."

"In the cold steel group the peritonsillar space is dissected with metal instruments, and bleeding is typically controlled by ligation or electrocautery."
