    Objective: To analyze the evidence on the efficacy of harmonic scalpels in hemostasis during surgery in surgical patients. Materials and Methods: The study was quantitative with a systematic review design, comprising 25 articles in total, with 10 articles selected for review. The GRADE system was used to evaluate evidence quality and recommendation strength. Results: The studies consisted of 3 meta-analyses and 7 clinical trials, demonstrating the efficacy of the harmonic scalpel in terms of hemostasis, operating time, recovery, bleeding, and other factors. Two studies mentioned the high cost of the technology. Conclusion: 100% of the studies reviewed demonstrate the efficacy of harmonic scalpels in improving hemostasis, reducing operating time, shortening hospital stay, lowering blood loss, and improving wound healing, with the only disadvantage being the high cost.
