Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effect of modified Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag in tonsillectomy.Methods A total of 110 patients were retrospectively reviewed, who met the criteria for tonsillectomy admitted from July 2017 to February 2021.In the experimental group, 55 patients underwent modified Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag assisted tonsillectomy, while in the control group, 55 patients underwent traditional Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag assisted tonsillectomy. The results of the two groups were compared in the following aspects:the effect of subtonsil extreme exposure, the completion time of the exposure field, the total operation time, the residue of subtonsil extreme, the tear of the Mucosa of the pharyngeal arch and the paralysis of the tongue.Results Compared with the traditional Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag assisted tonsillectomy, the modified Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag assisted tonsillectomy had a better exposure of the lower pole of the tonsillectomy field, a shorter exposure time and operation time, a lower residue of Tonsil, lower incidence of tongue paralysis and tear of pharyngeal-lingual arch.Conclusion Tonsillectomy with Modified Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag has a better visual field, which is beneficial to improve the quality of surgery, and shorten the operation time. It is worthy of clinical application.
