Abstract

Background

Tonsillectomy is being performed either with a headlight, surgical loupe magnification or with microscopic aid. We report the technique of endoscope holder-assisted endoscopic tonsillectomy using coblation. Coblation tonsillectomy has the primary advantage of limited thermal damage compared with alternative forms of surgery.

Methods

Our endoscope holder, primarily designed for endoscopic ear surgery, has been extrapolated for the use in two-handed technique of tonsillectomy. The method is described in detail.

Conclusion

Endoscope gives a panoramic view, better optics, magnified image of the bleeders and hence there is applicability of the endoscope holder for endoscopic tonsillectomy.
