Tonsil surgery, or tonsillectomy, is traditionally performed by completely removing the tonsils. However, advances in medical technology now offer a more modern and minimally invasive alternative: plasma coblation. With this technique, the tonsils do not need to be removed entirely, allowing their natural immune function to remain intact. The procedure is also safer, less painful, and enables faster recovery compared to conventional surgery.
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, plasma coblation has become a preferred method for treating recurrent tonsillitis and enlarged tonsils. Supported by experienced medical specialists and advanced facilities, this technology provides an effective and comfortable solution for patients of all ages.

What is Plasma Coblation and Its Benefits in Tonsil Surgery?
Plasma coblation is a modern ENT technology used to treat tonsillitis. Unlike traditional tonsil surgery, which typically involves total tonsil removal through tonsillectomy, plasma coblation allows doctors to perform tonsillotomy—removing only part of the tonsil and reducing its size. This way, patients retain some tonsil tissue that continues to support the body’s immune system.
“With more classical or traditional tonsillectomy, the procedure usually requires complete removal of the tonsils. But with plasma coblation, we now have another option—reducing the size of the tonsils without removing them entirely. This is called tonsillotomy,” explained dr. Abdillah Hasbi Assadyk, Sp.THT-KL, ENT specialist at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri and an expert in plasma coblation procedures.
In older techniques, partial tonsil removal often carried a high risk of bleeding, which is why conventional tonsil surgery almost always ended in full removal. Plasma coblation, however, can dissolve tissue while sealing blood vessels at the same time, resulting in very minimal or even no bleeding. This breakthrough makes tonsillotomy safe and effective in today’s medical practice.
Advantages of Plasma Coblation for Tonsillitis
Plasma coblation offers several advantages compared to conventional tonsil surgery:
- Preserves tonsil tissue – healthy tonsil tissue can remain to maintain immune function.
- Minimal bleeding risk – the technology dissolves tissue while simultaneously sealing blood vessels.
- Faster recovery – patients typically experience shorter healing times compared to traditional methods.
- Reduces patient concerns – leaving part of the tonsil intact alleviates fears about losing immune function.
- Better outcomes – tonsil size can be reduced, surfaces smoothed, and symptoms such as recurrent infections or snoring effectively addressed.
With these benefits, plasma coblation has become one of the leading options for tonsil surgery at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri. The method is not only safer and less risky, but also offers greater comfort for both children and adults.
