Abstract
Numbers of tonsillectomies may be decreasing in Japan due to troublesome bleeding involved in managing in a small viewing field and relatively low national health insurance point for tonsillectomy. We found coblation tonsillectomy to have advantages of less bleeding, shorter operating time, and less postoprerative pain than conventional tonsillectomy. We found that 40% of those on whom a coblator was used reported no postoperative throat pain, and noted a quick learning curve in decreasing postoperative bleeding in coblation tonsillectomy.
