Dr. Prahlad Duggal is a pioneer in the field of Bloodless Surgery for Tonsils and Adenoids in this region and the only foreign trained surgeon in Amritsar for Coblation assisted Tonsil and Adenoid surgery.

Tonsil and Adenoid Surgery

At DuggalENT, tonsil and adenoid surgery for both children as well as adults is done in both the conventional way as well as bloodless way. Traditionally tonsil and adenoid surgery is done with cold instruments and burning the tissues. It is a time tested technique though many patients now want the advantages of advanced techniques like coblation for tonsillectomy.

WHAT IS COBLATION TONSILLECTOMY?

Coblation is an advanced technology that combines gentle radiofrequency energy in plasma field of natural saline to cut and coagulate at a very low temperature to avoid thermal damage to the surrounding tissues. This provides a very convenient method for removing tonsils and provides complete clearance of adenoid tissue in a clean bloodless field.

This results in minimal pain and rapid recovery for patients especially the pediatric patients. Dr. Duggal is specially trained for coblation assisted surgery from Norway and is the first surgeon to introduce this technology and is most experienced in coblation assisted surgeries in Amritsar.

Microlaryngeal Surgery

Micro laryngeal surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to correct disorders of voice and breathing by pathologies in the larynx.
Microscopic voice surgery may be determined to be the best course of treatment after diagnostic testing and examinations have discovered the source of a persistent cough, hoarseness or various voice problems.

The treatment of vocal cord lesions depends on the nature of the problem and the degree of voice change Medications, speech therapy and laryngeal microsurgery are the more common types of treatment for these conditions and may be used alone or in combination Microsurgery is recommended after accurate ear, nose and throat assessment and consideration of the specific
voice disorder.

While microscopic voice surgery is considered a safe procedure, all forms of surgery do carry some risk. Although rare, the complications that are associated with microscopic voice surgery include a reaction to anaesthesia, dental damage, temporary numbness of the tongue, bleeding, infection and less than optimal results. Choosing a physician with extensive experience in microscopic voice surgery can help lower the risk of encountering any difficulties.
