Introduction-Dissection and Snare method of tonsillectomy was first introduced nearly a century ago. Since then several methods of performing tonsillectomy have evolved like electrocautery, harmonic scalpel ,Laser, coblation and Magnetic Resonance Generator(MRG). All these methods have been used with the aim of overcoming the shortcomings with the previous methods like intra and post operative bleeding ,reducing the duration of surgery and post operative pain.MRG works on the principle of quantum resonance and it has helped in minimizing the intraoperative and post operative bleeding as well as post operative pain.In this study MRG was used for tonsillectomy with favourable outcome. Materials and Methods: 12 patients who underwent tonsillectomy by MRG were included in the study .Various parameters like duration of surgery ,intra and post operative bleeding and post operative pain were recorded and compared with other studies . Results:In all the 12 patients favourable outcome was recorded .None of the cases had post operative bleeding and there was minimal intraoperative bleeding.Post operative pain showed a decreasing trend with very minimal post operative pain on day 3. Conclusion-Our study highlights the advantages of MRG in tonsillectomy which nearly overcomes the drawbacks and complications encountered with other methods employed for tonsillectomy.
