Tonsil stones, a cause of bad breath that many people may not be aware. Can completely cured using ultrasonic waves.
Today, medical innovation has advanced a lot. Today, Dr. Uthai Prapamonthon, a specialist in head, neck, trachea and larynx surgery at the Ear, Nose and Throat will introduce a technique for tonsil stone surgery to be cured completely by using ultrasonic waves, which are high-frequency radio waves in tonsil surgery (Radiofrequency tonsillectomy).
Check list! In addition to tonsil stone removal, tonsillectomy by Ultrasonic, Harmonic scalpel is also use to remove tonsils in cases. Where the patient has the following symptoms:
- Chronic recurrent tonsillitis (7 times/year, or 5 times/year for 2 consecutive years, or 3 times/year for 3 consecutive years)
- Abscesses around the tonsils occur. After the abscesses around the tonsils have healed, it takes about 1-2 months to have the tonsils surgically removed.
- I suspect that it is tonsil cancer.
- Tonsils are so large that they cause airway obstruction or snoring.
Ultrasonic, Harmonic scalpel
Dr. Uthai explained that this innovation uses high-frequency energy to make the head of the instrument vibrate at a frequency of 55,000 Hz, which creates intracellular pressure. The resulting force causes the spaces between cells to form (intracellular cavities) so wide that the tissues tear apart.
In addition, this cautery head has low heat, with a temperature of about 40-60 degrees Celsius, so when cutting tonsils, there is less tissue injury. In addition, this heat causes protein in the tissue to coagulate (Protein coagulation), so the surgical area will not bleed much during surgery. This instrument can cut blood vessels with a diameter of no more than 6 mm.
In conclusion, Ultrasonic, Harmonic scalpel causes less tissue injury to the surgical wound than traditional surgery and can also stop bleeding during surgery.
The advantages of tonsil stone surgery and tonsil diseases using Ultrasonic, Harmonic scalpel are:
- The surgery takes a short time, approximately 15-20 minutes, which reduces the time required for anesthesia and increases safety during surgery.
- The instrument can cut tissue and stop bleeding at the same time, so the surgery loses less blood, usually about 1-2 cc.
- No sutures are required during surgery. Reducing the chance of throat irritation after surgery.
- The postoperative wound pain is less than other methods, especially in the 3-7 days after surgery.
- The length of hospital stay is reduce. Generally, people can go home after staying in the hospital for about 1 day after surgery.
