“No one looks forward to having a tonsillectomy. But the Coblation® procedure can literally “ease the pain.” The patients that I’ve treated with Coblation tonsillectomy have had a much faster recovery than expected with traditional methods.”Nina Shapiro, M.D.

Coblation® tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy is a gentle procedure for removing both tonsils and adenoids offering a fast and easy recovery.
Traditional methods remove tonsils and adenoids by cutting or burning, which can cause extensive pain and damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Coblation is an advanced technology that combines gentle radiofrequency energy with a natural salt solution to quickly and safely remove tonsils and adenoids. Because traditional procedures use high levels of heat to remove the tonsils and adenoids, damage to surrounding healthy tissue is common. Coblation does not remove the tonsils or adenoids by heating or burning, leaving the healthy tissue surrounding the tonsils unaffected.
The innovative approach of Coblation results in minimal pain and rapid recovery for patients.
