What Is Coblation Adenoidectomy?
Coblation Adenoidectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove enlarged adenoids, which are tissues located behind the nose that can block airflow and cause breathing or ear problems—especially in children.
Unlike traditional methods, coblation technology uses low-temperature radiofrequency energy, resulting in:
- Less bleeding
- Reduced pain
- Faster healing
- Greater surgical precision
