About Coblation Tonsillectomy Coblation tonsillectomy is a gentle treatment for tonsillitis which is preferred by Otolaryngologists as it treats infected tonsils with ease and reduces recovery time by 70%. It involves the removal of tonsils using modern technology where the patient experiences less pain and recovers earlier than when treated with traditional surgical procedures. This procedure was first introduced in 2001.
How the service is done Coblation tonsillectomy employs bipolar radiofrequency energy that removes tissue with minimal thermal damage. When the instrument is applied to a saline medium over the tissue, a layer of ionized particles forms around the electrodes which results in molecular dissociation of the tissue. Following this, the surgeon uses the Coblation wand to remove and disintegrate the tissue.
Follow-up treatments or next steps The patients are suggested to take precautionary steps to ensure expected results from the surgery. Some of them include: » Drinking a lot of fluids » Avoiding travel and physical exertion for at least 4-5 days post the surgery. » Visiting the physician regularly for follow-up talks and medications.
