Coblation (radiofrequency ablation) has become popular and the tool of choice for over half of Otolaryngologists. There has been legitimate concern about the ability to use the device for an adenoidectomy. This video shot using a mirror to examine the nasopharynx demonstrates the feasibility and ease of using the Coblation wand to perform an adenoidectomy. Note how easy the instrument can reach the posterior choanae and completely remove the adenoids safely. For the adenoidectomy, the surgeon can alternate between a setting of 9 ablate and 5 coagulation; both the ablation and coagulation modes are safe and beneficial when performing a coblation adenoidectomy.
