Dealing with tonsil stones that do not seem to end im planning to have a tonsillectomy with coblation in a few months im 27 years old. risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsillectomy: Minimal risk. The coblation technique make the procedure safer and less painful. 2006 article from Royal College of Surgeons, Australia showed a significant improvement in post op pain on days 1 to 4. However, after day 4 the pain scale was the same from either traditional or coblation technique.
