【 摘 要 】

ObjectiveTo compare the intraoperative records and postoperative clinical outcomes of adults who underwent coblation and modified monopolar tonsillectomy tonsillectomies.Materials and methodsAdult patients with tonsillectomy were randomly divided into the coblation and modified monopolar tonsillectomy groups. The estimated blood loss, postoperative pain score, operation time, post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH), and cost of disposable equipment were compared.ResultsPain intensity in the coblation and monopolar groups was similar on postoperative days 3 and 7. However, the mean maximum pain score in the monopolar group was significantly higher compared to the coblation group on postoperative days 1 (P < 0.01) and 2 (P < 0.05).Secondary PTH occurred in 7.1% (23/326) of patients in the coblation group and 2.8% (9/327) of patients in the monopolar group (P < 0.05).ConclusionAlthough pain was significantly increased on postoperative days 1 and 2 in the modified monopolar tonsillectomy group, the operation time, secondary PTH, and medical costs were significantly decreased compared to the coblation technique group.
