Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
A double-blinded randomized controlled trial of coblation versus conventional dissection tonsillectomy on post-operative symptoms.
The aim of this study was to compare postoperative symptoms following coblation tonsillectomy with those experienced following a traditional cold dissection. ⋯ The use of coblation to perform tonsillectomy does not confer any symptomatic benefits to the patient over conventional cold dissection tonsillectomy.
