The two was measured using duration surgery, blood loss each side. Post-operative pain tonsillar fossa healing evaluated first, second seventh day. surgery C02 11.8±3.65 minutes, 16.4±4.66 minutes. (P <0.0001) 18.74±6.86ml method; it 44.02±9.38ml. (P<0.0001) day 7 score lower than second, days, percentage slough formation 80 percent, 74 45 percent method, respectively, while 40 47 17 percent. simple results substantially less loss, shorter time.
