Coblation Tonsillectomy

Over the years, many different techniques have been developed to remove enlarged or chronically infected tonsils and adenoids. One of the latest techniques is called coblation. Coblation uses heat to remove tonsil tissue without causing significant damage to surrounding tissue. This allows the surgery to be done quicker and with very little bleeding. Patients tend to have less postoperative pain and heal faster. No matter which technique is employed, tonsil and adenoid surgery can usually be done as an outpatient.
