Soon after they discovered Coblation-assisted tonsillectomy at an exhibit hall a couple years ago, our five surgeons were intrigued enough to trial it. Would the procedure's prospect of better outcomes, less pain and faster recovery hold up at our single-suite ASC specializing in throat surgery? It's hard to say who's been more pleased by the results, our surgeons or our patients (and their parents). Our tonsillectomy case times have dropped from 36 minutes to 13 minutes, revenue has increased by 2 percent - owing to the fact that we've increased our daily case output by six - and, most importantly, patient satisfaction has improved tremendously. I'd like to share with you the lessons that we've learned from our trial.
