ABSTRACT
Tonsillectomy results in a severe sore throat, especially in the first few days, until the exposed and inflamed muscle becomes covered with regenerated mucosa. There are a variety of techniques of tonsillectomy including monopolar and bipolar diathermy, blunt dissection, and most recently radiofrequency tonsil ablation and coblation. The objective of the present study was to assess the postoperative pharyngeal or ear pain of radiofrequency tonsillectomy and compared with traditional blunt dissection tonsillectomy with loop ligation hemostasis.
