https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/29322/soft-palate-resection I have always performed this procedure with sharp scissors and a continuous suture with no problems. I now have a Ligasure device and am tempted to use this to drastically speed up the procedure. Has anyone any feedback with potential problems withen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/225157?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 01 Sep 2020 12:02:50 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:4bb14e84-c779-403f-abe2-03440f02e687Malcolm Ness<p>We used a Ligasure for various things a number of years ago. One of my colleagues used it for soft palates but reverted to scissors and stitch after a couple bled post-op. It might have been technical error (though he was experienced both as a surgeon and with the Ligasure) so you might find some with different experience.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/225154?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 01 Sep 2020 10:06:24 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:fe826fa5-72a9-4cd2-821b-d94bdcfca086Eamon McAllister<p>I used electrosurgery on soft palate resections routinely and found that even though there was swelling post op in didn&rsquo;t seem to be a problem.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
