Coblation tonsillectomies

Coblation tonsillectomies at Medcenter One - so simple, you'll want to treat your doctor to the ice cream.

Coblation tonsillectomies, a gentle alternative for removing tonsils that reduces pain and recovery time up to 70%, are now available at Medcenter One. Unlike harsh traditional tonsillectomy procedures, coblation combines gentle radio frequency energy with natural saline to quickly remove tonsils. The newer procedure results in less pain after surgery and quicker recoveries. In many cases, children who have the procedures on Friday are back to school on Monday.

Board-certified Drs. Marcus Fiechtner and Sue Karen Wink have performed more than 150 of the procedures that are endorsed by the American Academy of Otolaryngology. They are the only surgeons in our area to offer this new procedure.
