ABSTRACT

Depending on the size of the tonsil, this dual electrode device is usually placed four to six times in each tonsil, forming 8-12 TCRF lesions (4000-6000 J total energy) per tonsil. Device placements should be spaced about 1 cm apart, covering the tonsil’s medial surface (Fig. 7). Each ablation (formation of two lesions) takes about 1.5-2min to complete.
