Although tonsillectomy is one of the most widely conducted otolaryngologic surgeries, there is no universally accepted consensus regarding the use of surgical instruments [The preference for the coblation technique over other methods of some clinicians is due to the minimal damage to the surrounding tissue and lower postoperative pain score [PTH requiring surgery is a significant complication following tonsillectomy; it not only increases secondary medical costs, but also anxiety for patients and their families. The incidence rate of PTH requiring surgery was 7.04% in this study, consistent with the rates of 1.4–11.9% in previous reports [In this study, the lower pole and middle portion were the sites of bleeding in 40 (87.0%) and 6 (13.0%) of the 46 patients with PTH, respectively. We found that the dense fibrous connective tissue between the tonsillar capsule and lingual extensions of the lymphoid tissue in the inferior pole was damaged in 40 patients with PTH, in which the dissection extended beyond the fibrous connective tissue containing rich arterial blood vessels [
