简要总结
Treating sleep apnea in adults caused by tonsillar hypertrophy with intracapsular tonsillectomy by coblation
详细描述
The investigators aim to study if good surgical results can be achieved by intracapsular tonsillectomy with coblation while monitoring safety, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In adult tonsil surgery, the current practice in Finland is commonly extracapsular tonsillectomy with monopolar electrosurgery.
