Prospective comparative study of pulsed-electron avalanche knife (PEAK) and bipolar radiofrequency ablation (coblation) pediatric tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy

Abstract

Pulsed-electron avalanche knife surgery was found to be an adequate technique for pediatric adenotonsillectomy, with similar amounts of post-operative pain and clinically relevant hemorrhage when compared to bipolar radiofrequency ablation.
