Most surgeons trained learning extracapsular tonsillectomies. What does the evidence say about intracapsular tonsillectomies? Two pediatric otolaryngologists explain why they made the switch and never looked back. On this episode of the BackTable ENT Podcast, hosts Dr. Ashley Agan and Dr. Gopi Shah sit down with pediatric otolaryngologists Dr. Stephen Chorney from UT Southwestern and Children's Health Dallas and Dr. Kevin Huoh from Children's of Orange County to examine post-operative complications after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, with a focus on coblation intracapsular tonsillectomy.
