Abstract
Coblation is controlled and non-heat driven process that uses bipolar radiofrequency to energise the particles in the conductive medium, such as saline, to form a precisely focused plasma field. AIM OF THE STUDY: To study the various uses and safety of Coblator in Pharyngolaryngology. METHODS: The study was conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of Government Stanley hospital during the period Feb 2013 to Sept 2014. About 65 cases which were selected randomly, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were sub divided based on the diagnosis. Out of which 20 were Chronic Adenoid Hypertrophy, 20 were chronic Tonsillitis, 5 were mild Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, 20 were Benign Laryngeal lesions underwent Coblation assisted surgeries respectively. RESULTS: Coblation Assisted AdenoTonsillectomy ensures complete and safe removal of tissue, decreased post operative pain, Early return to normal diet Coblation Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty ensures complete relief of symptoms, minimal injury to surrounding normal tissue, post operative pain, Early return to normal diet. About 3 out of 40 patients had post operative bleeding, following Coblation Assisted Adenotonsillectomy. CONCLUSION: In this study, about 65 cases were selected randomly, Out of which 20 were Chronic Adenoid Hypertrophy, underwent Coblation assisted Adenoidectomy, 20 were chronic Tonsillitis who underwent Coblation Assisted Tonsillectomy, 5 were mild Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome underwent Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, 20 were Benign Laryngeal lesions who underwent Coblation assisted excision had complete excision of the lesions with safety, with minimal post operative pain,with minimal injury to the surrounding healthy tissue, intraoperative bleed, early recovery to normalcy. About 3 out of 40 patients had post operative bleeding, following Coblation Assisted Adenotonsillectomy, Time consuming, requires expertise and less cost effective However, the sample size is too small to come to definitive conclusion.
