RESUMEN
Ten patients [six males and four females] with ages ranged from 14 to 49 years were treated for lingual tonsil diseases. Eight patients had symptoms related to recurrent lingual tonsillitis and only two patients had symptoms related to lingual tonsil hyperplasia. A management of their conditions was done by ablation of the lingual tonsil tissue using the bipolar ENTec Coblator, which is a quind of bipolar radiofrequency surgery. It was found that the postoperative pain and odynophagia were minimal and the patients were able to regain their normal daily activities within very few days with no incident of postoperative infection or hemorrhage. There was an observable 50% or more reduction in the size of the lingual tonsils over a four-week duration period with the majority of patients [eight out of ten] having a marked improvement or disappearance of their preoperative complaints, although this point should be observed and evaluated over a longer duration in future studies
