Partial glandular excision was performed under standardized conditions. Tissue specimens were processed for histological analysis using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Edema, hemorrhage, vascular injury, necrosis, inflammation, and ductal narrowing were assessed using a semiquantitative scoring system. Nonparametric statistical methods were applied for intergroup comparisons.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both energy-based modalities produced significantly greater tissue alterations compared with controls (P &amp;lt; .05). Bipolar electrocautery demonstrated higher levels of inflammation, edema, hemorrhage, and necrosis relative to LigaSure (P &amp;lt; .05), whereas vascular injury showed no statistically significant difference. In contrast, ductal narrowing was significantly more pronounced in the LigaSure group (P &amp;lt; .05). Overall, the most marked differences between modalities were observed in the inflammatory response and ductal changes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Distinct patterns of tissue injury are associated with different energy modalities. LigaSure appears to limit collateral tissue damage while exerting a greater effect on ductal structures, whereas bipolar electrocautery is associated with more extensive inflammatory and hemorrhagic changes. These findings provide experimental insight that may inform energy device selection in submandibular gland (SMG) surgery, although further studies are needed to clarify their clinical implications.<\/jats:p>\n
