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.
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.
Endoscope gives a panoramic view, better optics, magnified image of the bleeders and hence there is applicability of the endoscope holder for endoscopic tonsillectomy.
扁桃体切除术可以在头灯、手术放大镜或显微镜的辅助下进行。我们报告了一种使用等离子刀的内镜持柄辅助内镜扁桃体切除术的技术。与其他手术方式相比，等离子刀扁桃体切除术的主要优点是热损伤有限。
我们的内镜持柄最初是为内镜耳部手术设计的，现已被推广用于双手技术的扁桃体切除术。方法详述如下。
内镜提供全景视图，更好的光学效果，放大出血部位的图像，因此内镜持柄适用于内镜扁桃体切除术。
