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. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- This podcast is supported by Smith + Nephewhttps://www.smith-nephew.com/en/ --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction02:53 - Why Switch Techniques?07:58 - Risk Stratification and Patient Selection11:04 - Respiratory Complications and Management15:57 - Preop Screening21:35 - Risks for Post-op Bleeding and Counseling26:16 - Managing Post-op Bleeding31:56 - Surgical Tips to Prevent Bleeds and Management39:30 - Intracapsular Tonsillectomy in Older Kids43:44 - Post Op Pain Plan and Return To School48:33 - Use of Toradol & Readmission for Pain and Dehydration53:16 - Caution of Burn and Stenosis Injuries61:01 - Final Takeaways --- More about this episode Dr. Chorney and Dr. Huoh share why they each committed fully to the intracapsular technique and what that shift has meant in practice, from secondary hemorrhage rates hovering around 0.5–0.6% to fewer nursing line calls, readmissions for pain and dehydration, and faster returns to school and normal activity.
