The aim of the study is to evaluate differences between use of Ultrasonic Coagulation Device (New Harmonic ACE™, Ethicon endo-surgery) and Bipolar Energy Sealing System (LigaSure Precise™, Covidien) in surgery for thyroid cancer.

Background: Thyroid is an organ that has abundant vessels. In thyroid surgery, it should be cautious to avoid injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and parathyroid, thus careful hemostasis during surgery is crucial for surgeons who perform thyroid surgery. Recently, there have been significant advances in vessel sealing systems for the occlusion of vessels during surgery as endoscopic surgery has been developed. UC and BES are now commonly used in thyroid surgery. However, only a few studies have compared the two surgical devices to determine which technique is superior in terms of operative time and complication rate. Thus, this single-blind prospective randomized trial is conducted to determine if there was a difference in operative time, complication rate, postoperative drainage volume, admission time, cost, and, furthermore, oncologic outcomes (RFS and OS) between the two surgical devices in surgery for thyroid cancer.

The prevalence of malnutrition in patients with colorectal cancer is recorded. We want to find out, if a malnourished patient has more complications after the elective surgery.

All patients attending elective colorectal surgery are screened for malnutrition in advance. Their length of stay in the hospital and the complications are recorded.
