Description

Coblation Adenotonsillotomy is a subtotal removal of the tonsil and adenoid tissue. It has the advantage of being less painful than a traditional tonsillectomy with all the same benefits for sleep apnoea. The risk of bleeding is lower which is especially helpful with young children. There may be treatment alternatives suitable to you or your child that you can discuss with Dr Morrissey. Recurrent infections may respond to antibiotics in some cases while nasal sprays may assist in obstructive sleep apnoea in limited cases.
