dc.description.abstractTonsillectomy is one of the most common ear, nose and throat surgical procedure, carried out worldwide1. Amongst the various method of tonsillectomy (diathermy, laser, harmonic scalpel, radiofrequency cautery cryosurgery and coblation), dissection and snare method is commonest procedure done by otorhinolaryngologist. To compare the post operative complications associated with coblation versus conventional cold-dissection steel tonsillectomy. We carried out the prospective study of complications associated with coblation versus conventional cold steel tonsillectomy in postoperative pain, anesthesia, hemorrhage, fever, pharyngitis, injury of adjacent structure & cautery burn. Average blood loss on Coblation side was 18.74�ml while on conventional side it was 44.2�ml. Post operative pain score, injury to adjacent structure and cautery burn were found to be significantly decreased in coblation. No such difference was observed in pharyngitis and fever in both methods. The use of coblator reduces the post-operative pain, peri or post-operative blood loss, injury to adjacent structure & cautery burn too. � 2023, Association of Otolaryngologists of India.
