Post Tonsillectomy Pain: Dissection ligation vs bipolar electro dissection.
Pak J Otolaryngol Jan ;22(2):37-8.

Tonsillectomy is the most common surgical procedure in otolaryngology. At present there are two commonly used methods for tonsillectomy i.e., electro dissection and ligation dissection. This study was carried out in fifty patients as a randomized prospective study to compare the post tonsillectomy pain. The post operative pain appears to be much less for ligation dissection technique compare to the electro dissection method. Irrespective of the technique used for tonsillectomy, post tonsillectomy pain experienced on 4th and 5th day was maximum, experienced by almost all patients.
