What is coblated?

Coblation is a surgical technique that uses radiofrequency energy and saline solution to remove or treat tissue without damaging surrounding structures. The term "coblation" is an abbreviation of "controlled ablation," which describes the technique's ability to remove tissue in a precise, controlled, and targeted manner. Coblation is most commonly used in the treatment of tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and endoscopic sinus surgery. It is also used in some orthopedic and dental surgeries. Coblation is generally considered to be a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgical methods and it typically results in less pain, swelling, and scarring.
