Bipolar diathermy-assisted coblation really affects post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage rate and white membrane in paediatric tonsillectomy.

CONCLUSION: bipolar diathermy-assisted coblation can reduce post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage (PTH) rate, operation time, the volume of blood loss during surgery and the white membrane thickness of tonsillar fossa. The thickness of the white membrane of tonsil fossa is positively correlated with postoperative pain degree. The time needed to resume a regular diet showed no significant differences between the two groups. PMID: 29557562 [PubMed - in process]
