Background and Objectives: To compare the efficacy of three surgical methods in tonsillectomy patients; combination monopolar bipolar diathermy (diathermy), coblation dissection using Evac (coblation), Harmonic scalpel assisted (harmonic). Materials Methods: Ninety-seven patients underwent a single institute between January 2020 May 2021. Postoperative pain was evaluated visual analogue scale (...

Objective: To compare coblation and bipolar diathermy tonsillectomy in adults in terms of operative time, operative blood loss, post operative pain and post operative complications. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients (aged 18-40 years) scheduled for tonsillectomy were enrolled in this study, the patients were randomized using sealed envelopes to have one tonsil removed by coblation and the o...

There are a multitude of techniques to undertake tonsillectomy, with hot techniques such as diathermy and coblation being associated with a higher risk of secondary haemorrhage. The UK National Prospective Tonsillectomy Audit (2004) advocated cold steel dissection and ties to be the gold standard. This prospective observational study investigates the trends in tonsillectomy techniques across Wa...

Abstract Background Recently, coblation technique is used in many neck surgeries; there are few studies dealing with the field of tonsillectomy either intracapsular or extracapsular tonsillectomy. The aim this study to evaluate efficacy using (preserving capsule) over it (total). Results There statistically difference between results and as regards postoperative pain according VAS scale (4.36 ±...

Abstract The debate about which surgical technique for tonsillectomy could be superior over another is continuous. Tonsillectomy techniques are classified into cold and hot procedures. In techniques, no heat used; they include dissection, guillotine, microdebrider, harmonic scalpel, cryosurgery. Hot electrocautery, coblation, radio frequency, laser. Egypt, the used methods dissection with elect...

Background: This study was done to look at the difference in incidence of postoperative bleeding after tonsillectomy using coblation or noncoblation. Methods: A review all cases NIMS Medical college from January 2019 September 2022 ascertain type performed and presence bleeding. Statistical analysis by chi-square test determine a statistical between rate noncoblation method. The Cochraine-Armit...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety, morbidity, and efficacy of radiofrequency tissue volume reduction of tonsils using two different surgical techniques and to compare these two techniques with each other and with classic tonsillectomy. STUDY DESIGN A nonrandomized retrospective review of tonsil reductions was made between 2000 and 2002 using in vivo studies associated with tonsil reduction an...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the postoperative course of children who underwent coblation T&A versus those who underwent coblation partial intracapsular tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (PITA). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Records of children undergoing consecutive tonsillectomies from July 2009 to October 2012 were analyzed. All surgeries used a coblation device. Ou...

Most tonsillectomies are carried out by dissection. Only a small minority of otolaryngologistsstill routinely perform guillotine tonsillectomy. We carried out a prospective study on 86children undergoing tonsillectomy utilising a standard anaesthetic and analgesic regimen tocompare post-operative pain after dissection tonsillectomy and guillotine tonsillectomy using aPopper'...
