Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Vacuum device surgery

Conventional surgery

Arm Description

At first the surgeon proceed to the dissection of children tonsils and at last he uses the innovative vacuum device to obtain wounds hemostasis

At first the surgeon proceed to the dissection of children tonsils and at last he uses a bipolar forceps to obtain wounds hemostasis

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Comparison of cauterization time to obtain the tonsillectomy wounds hemostasis using bipolar forceps between conventional surgery group and the vacuum device group
Cauterization time (seconds) needed to obtain wounds tonsillectomy hemostasis using bipolar forceps(electric power of 20W)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Assessment of the vacuum device hemostatic technique at his installation on the wound
Number of success or failure to install the device Cases of no immediately hemostasis
Assessment between two arm of the postoperative pain until 10 days after the surgery
Pain score every day (FLACC -> children between 3 and 7 years old Faces pain scale -> children between 8 and 10 years old)
Comparison of the time of the first complaint of pain after surgery between conventional surgery group and the vacuum device group
Time between general anesthesia and first complaint of pain
Comparison of surgery time between the 2 arm
Time between the first incision and final wounds hemostasis verification
Comparison between the 2 arms of re-feeding without pain (liquids,semi-liquids ands solids)
Time or/and day of the first meal without pain
Comparison between the 2 arms of the number of primary hemorrhages
Number of primary hemorrhages
Comparison between the 2 arms of the number of secondary hemorrhages
Number of secondary hemorrhages
Comparison between the 2 arms of the number of rehospitalisation (all circumstances)
Number of rehospitalisation
Comparison between the 2 arms of the number of strong analgesics doses
Number of strong analgesics doses per day. Strong analgesics are used only if the child has a FLACC score higher than 3 (children from 3 to 7 years old) and a Faces Pain Scale score higher than 4 (children from 8 to 10 years old).
Clinician evaluation about the feasibility of the vacuum device installation
Score from a qualitative satisfaction scale

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The long-term objective of this study is to prove: the equivalence of the number of post-operation hemorrhages, and maybe a decrease of the number of secondary hemorrhages the decrease of pain and quicker re-feeding an easier haemostasis the simplification of the tonsillectomy surgical kit the decrease of dissection time
