What is Coblation Tonsillectomy?

The technique uses gentle radiofrequency energy with a saline solution to quickly and safely remove tonsils without causing pain and less bleeding.

Why is Coblation Tonsillectomy a Better Choice?

According to Dr. Sumit Mrig - The conventional way of removing tonsils and adenoids was by using the cold steel method of dissection. These methods caused extensive pain, bleeding and damaged the healthy tissues. However, this new technology of Coblation does not remove tonsils or adenoids by heating, burning, or preserving the healthy surrounding tissues.

How is coblation tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy done?

Done under general anesthesia, the surgeon uses a special coblation wand to remove tonsils and adenoids in a minimally invasive way so that the patient can get back home early.

Who are the right candidates for Adenoidectomy via Coblation?

Coblation adenoidectomy is a technique that works at a relatively low temperature to gently dissolve and/or shrink target tissue with minimal thermal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Coblation technology provides ablation, resection, coagulation of soft tissue, and hemostasis of blood vessels in one convenient surgical device. Few Indications that a person can witness are:

Difficulty in breathing
Snoring
Obstructive sleep apnea
Recurrent episodes of cough & cold
