Coblation Intracapsular Tonsillectomy

Intracapsular tonsillectomy is a minimally invasive method used to treat conditions such as recurrent tonsillitis or obstructive sleep problems. Unlike traditional extracapsular tonsillectomy, the surgeon removes the bulk of the tonsil but preserves the outer capsule that covers the throat muscles. This is commonly done using tools like a microdebrider, coblation device, or laser.

Key Features

Leaves the tonsillar capsule intact
Causes less postoperative pain
Lower risk of bleeding after surgery
Faster recovery compared to traditional tonsillectomy
Small possibility of tonsil tissue regrowth

Surgery for Snoring and Sleep apnea

Surgical treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea focuses on correcting structural obstruction of the upper airway. Procedures targeting the soft palate are commonly used. Palatoplasty involves reconstruction or stiffening of the soft palate to widen the airway and reduce its collapse during sleep. Another modern technique is Barbed Reposition Pharyngoplasty, which uses barbed sutures to reposition and tighten the soft palate and lateral pharyngeal walls without extensive tissue removal. These procedures improve airway stability, reduce snoring, and enhance airflow during sleep. They are usually considered in patients with palatal obstruction who do not respond adequately to conservative treatments.

Endoscopic Dacrocystorhinostomy

Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy (Endoscopic DCR) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction, which causes excessive tearing (epiphora). The surgery is performed through the nasal cavity using a nasal endoscope, avoiding an external skin incision. A small opening is created between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity to allow proper drainage of tears into the nose.
