摘要
The use of diathermy for haemostasis in Tonsillectomy remains controversial. A thorough scan of English literature comparing the ligation with diathermy has been presented. The reasoning of using Bipolar instead of Unipolar is explained. A prospective randomized study of 376 tonsillectomy is being presented. This is the first study in India where Bipolar instead of Unipolar diathermy is being used.
