Coblation and Traditional Adenoidectomy: A Comparative Study

Turkey (Türkiye)128 participantsStarted 2024-08-01

Plain-language summary

Adenoidectomy is a common pediatric otolaryngologic procedure. While cold curettage remains widely practiced, endoscopic coblation has been developed to enhance precision, minimize intraoperative complications, and reduce residual tissue. This study compared outcomes of conventional cold curettage adenoidectomy and coblation-assisted adenoidectomy in pediatric patients.
