Evaluation of Coblation Channeling in Treating Chronic Tonsillitis

NCT01193790 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Summary

The investigators wish to evaluate coblation channeling in the treatment of chronic tonsillitis.

Conditions

  • Tonsillitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Coblation channeling

The combination of the energy and the fluid creates a "plasma" field containing highly ionized particles (coblation). The ionized particles have sufficient energy to break organic molecular bonds that can remove tissue selectively without excessive heat production and subsequent damage to the surrounding tissue. Treatment of the tonsillar crypts and tissue by coblation may decrease antigen and immune system interaction and inflammation.
