A member asked:
Do most ent's do the laser co2 thing to ablate tonsil crypts without surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laser CO2 tonsil: Laser co2 tonsillectomy is by definition surgery. What may differ, depending on the surgeon is whether they perform laser tonsillectomy under general anesthesia or under local anesthesia with sedation. Most ent's use electrocautery, bipolar, harmonic scalpel or radiofrequency (coblation) for tonsillectomy.
