Coblation assisted tonsillection versus traditional dissection tonsillection: a comparison of clinical effects

Objective To compare the clinical effects of coblation assisted tonsillectomy and traditional dissection tonsillectomy so as to provide basis for tonsillar excision. Methods Data of 64 patients who underwent traditional dissection tonsillectomy( control group,n = 54) and coblation-assisted tonsillectomy( observation group,n = 54) between January 2011 and January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Blood loss during operation and after operation,incidence of bleeding and the incidence of discomfort of postoperative patients were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group,blood loss during operation and after operation,incidence of bleeding and incidence of discomfort of the postoperative patients decreased in the observation group( P 0. 05). Conclusion Coblation assisted tonsillectomy can reduce blood loss and decrease bleeding complications compared with traditional dissection tonsillectomy.
