The dissection methods were as follows: scalpel (no. 10, Ribbel, Sonepat, Haryana, India), monopolar cautery (HT-1-B Electrosurgical Pencil, NEXtech, Shanghai, China), bipolar cautery (BP540 bipolar scissors, Ethicon, North Las Vegas, NV, USA), or LigaSure. All devices except for the scalpel were used in conjunction with an electrosurgical generator (ForceTriad, Valleylab).

Each patients specimen was dissected by monopolar cautery at 35 W in cut mode, bipolar cautery at 80 W in standard mode, and LigaSure at level 2. All patients were operated on by the same surgical team.

The demographic characteristics and radiographic and histopathological findings are listed in table . No thermal damage due to the scalpel method was observed in any patient; accordingly, the scalpel data were excluded from the statistical analysis. Regarding the depth of tissue damage at the surgical margin, th...
