• The patient has angina more than 2-4 times a year and in the process of recrudescence various complications arise.

Tonsillectomy in Kiev

Tonsillectomy is a surgery aimed at complete removal of enlarged palatine tonsils. There are various options for its carrying out. Coblation, the newest method without incisions is applied in “Certus” clinic.

Coblation tonsillectomy solves several problems simultaneously:

1. Gentle and quick removal of tonsils.
2. Minimal tissue injury.
3. There are no open wounds and bleeding after the surgery.
4. The recovery period is short.
5. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia, there is no need to stay in a hospital.

A special device – a coblator is used in order to remove the tonsils by this method. It creates a cold plasma flow with a temperature range 40-70℃, which separates the tonsils from the underlying tissues. Thus, there is no strong heating of the tissues (compared to laser tonsillectomy). There is no risk of necrosis or burns as well. The surgeon controls the depth and degree of the impact due to the tiny nozzle of the coblator.

Surgical tonsillectomy involves the release of the tonsils from the adnations and arches and then cutting them with a tool in the form of a loop or a scalpel. Surgical excision of the tonsils by the classical method involves the formation of bleeding areas that require a long time to heal.
