Coblation tonsillectomy is a relatively new technique, the results of which need auditing within practising units, to justify its continued usage. * The National Prospective Tonsillectomy Audit provides an excellent source of data for individual units to compare their results to. * This retrospective audit of 391 coblation tonsillectomies shows that our units haemorrhage and return to theatre rates are similar to the National rates for cold steel & ties data. * Resolution of training issues and patient selection may lead to increased use of this technique.
低温等离子扁桃体切除术是一项相对较新的技术，其手术结果需要在各医疗单位进行审核，以证明该技术持续应用的合理性。*全国扁桃体切除术前瞻性审计为各单位将自身结果与之进行比较提供了绝佳的数据来源。*这项对391例低温等离子扁桃体切除术的回顾性审计表明，我们单位的出血率和重返手术室率与全国冷钢及结扎法数据的比率相似。*解决培训问题和患者选择问题可能会导致该技术的使用增加。
