Tonsillectomy is one of the treatment methods used to address patients with recurrent tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis, tonsil stones, or sleep apnea caused by enlarged tonsils. However, what many people worry about after surgery is the postoperative pain, which makes the treatment experience and recovery difficult and time-consuming.
With temperature-controlled tonsillectomy technology, including Coblator and Bizact, patients will have a completely different experience. This technology significantly reduces postoperative pain by controlling the temperature during the procedure to be appropriate, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and injury.
How Coblator Works (Cold Plasma Surgery)
Coblator uses low-frequency radio wave technology to generate plasma, a state of matter consisting of ions and electrically charged electrons. The generated plasma is used to cut tissue or cause tissue contraction without causing much damage to the surrounding tissue. It creates plasma at a low temperature (approximately 60-70 degrees Celsius), which is lower than traditional cauterization that uses temperatures as high as 400-600 degrees Celsius. It is suitable for patients of all ages, especially young children who need to reduce pain and recovery time. It can also be used for adenoid surgery.
How BiZact Works
BiZact uses bipolar tissue sealer and divider technology that continuously measures the impedance of the tissue clamped between the instrument’s jaws. It then adjusts the energy delivered to effectively seal the tissue. When the tissue is completely sealed, the instrument emits an alert sound and can immediately cut the tissue. With this energy control, BiZact significantly reduces heat damage spreading to adjacent tissues (heat spreads less than 1 millimeter) and helps reduce bleeding during and after surgery, as well as shortens the surgery time.
As a result of these two innovations, recovery after surgery is faster, surgery and recovery times are reduced, bleeding during surgery is minimal, and patients can return to daily life more quickly. It also reduces the need for large amounts of pain medication.
For those looking for an effective tonsillectomy method that considers postoperative comfort, this temperature-controlled technology is a very interesting option.
