However, incremental advances in technology still require formal clinical evaluation in order to ensure that added technology does not compromise safety. In this study, we compared a new thermal sealing device incorporating a tissue divider (L<\/jats:styled-content>igaS<\/jats:styled-content>ure S<\/jats:styled-content>mall J<\/jats:styled-content>aw) with the device we have previously reported for use in total thyroidectomy (L<\/jats:styled-content>igaS<\/jats:styled-content>ure P<\/jats:styled-content>recise).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>A cohort study was undertaken of 872 total thyroidectomies over a 2\u2010year period.

No significant differences between patient demographics (sex, age), operation indication or pathology were found. Significantly more S<\/jats:styled-content>mall J<\/jats:styled-content>aw operations were performed in private versus public hospitals (P<\/jats:italic> < 0.01). Regarding outcomes, there was no significant difference in the incidence of any complication (haematoma, temporary\/permanent hypoparathyroidism or temporary\/permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury). In a subgroup analysis of operations performed in the public hospital system, S<\/jats:styled-content>mall J<\/jats:styled-content>aw was found to be significantly faster (mean operative time: 79
