Conclusion
Coblation tonsillectomy is an aerosol-generating procedure. Droplet
splatter can be detected in the immediate surgical field as well as on
the surgeon. Although wearing a face visor does not prevent splatter on
the surgical mask or around the eyes, it should be considered when
undertaking tonsil surgery as well as a properly fitted goggle.
