Adenotonsillectomy with coblation is a modern surgical procedure to remove enlarged tonsils and adenoids using low-temperature radiofrequency energy. It is safer, less painful, and allows quicker recovery compared to traditional methods.
This surgery is usually recommended for children with frequent throat infections, enlarged tonsils causing breathing difficulties, loud snoring, or sleep apnea. It helps improve sleep, breathing, and overall health.
Coblation uses controlled, low-temperature energy to remove tissues gently, unlike traditional surgery which uses heat or cutting. This results in less pain, reduced bleeding, and faster healing.
