anyone knows about a surgery called coblation?

Question

i need info about this surgery please

Answer 1

It's not a specific surgery, it's a method of doing surgeries. It uses radio waves that turn a simple salt solution into a stream of powerfully charged ions. These ions don't get very hot. But they carry so much energy, they cut right through tissues.
It kind of like electrocautery but not hot like electrocautery.

Answer 2

Coblation technology — a controlled, non-heat driven process — uses radiofrequency energy to excite the electrolytes in a conductive medium, such as saline solution, creating a precisely focused plasma.

The plasma's energized particles have sufficient energy to break molecular bond within tissue, causing tissue to dissolve at relatively low temperatures (typically 40°C to 70°C). The result is volumetric removal of target tissue with minimal damage surrounding tissue. Many Coblation devices also are designed to stop blood (hemostasis) and coagulate or seal bleeding vessels.


Because radiofrequency current does not pass directly through tissue during the Coblation process, tissue heating is minimal. Most of the heat is consumed in the plasma layer, or in other words, by the ionization process. These ions then bombard tissue in their path, causing molecular bonds to simply break apart and tissue to dissolve.

Answer 3

Coblation involves abrasion to remove damaged surface cells on the skin. There is also a coblation tonsil surgery. I suggest that you write coblation in on google and read several articles.

Answer 4

What Is CoblationTM?

CoblationTM is a new method for removing and or reducing the volume of the soft tissue, enabling rapid and precise tissue removal with little or no damage to the surrounding tissue. This may be associated with a number of surgical and clinical advantages, including better operative results, reduced surgical time, and less post-operative pain.
