Abstract

This paper describes a method of radiofrequency ablation of adenoid tissue using a coblator, comparing it with conventional and other newer methods of adenoidectomy. Its chief advantages are that it produces a bloodless field, precision of tissue removal and leads to less damage to surrounding tissues.
