During hot technique tonsillectomy it is important to identify and coagulate the vessels of the tonsillar capsule, especially at the lower pole of the tonsil. Hot technique tonsillectomy under microscope or endoscope has therefore been recommended to achieve accurate identification of the microstructure of the surgical field. We have applied ORBEYE, a three-dimensional surgical exoscope system, to coblation tonsillectomy. Advantages of using ORBEYE include high definition and high magnification images, and flexibility of camera position and angle. This means there is an improved surgical view and working space, particularly at the lower pole during performance of coblation tonsillectomy. Here, we demonstrate that ORBEYE can be an effective surgical instrument in coblation tonsillectomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59020259","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,30]],"date-time":"2023-01-30T04:58:25Z","timestamp":1675054705000},"page":"259","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Improvement of Surgical View and Working Space at the Lower Pole by Three-Dimensional Exoscope-Assisted Coblation Tonsillectomy: A Case Series"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9991-9428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daichi","family":"Murakami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Kinan Hospital, 46-70 Shinjo-cho, Tanabe-shi 646-8588, Wakayama, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama-shi 641-5810, Wakayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masayoshi","family":"Hijiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Kinan Hospital, 46-70 Shinjo-cho, Tanabe-shi 646-8588, Wakayama, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama-shi 641-5810, Wakayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takuro","family":"Iyo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Kinan Hospital, 46-70 Shinjo-cho, Tanabe-shi 646-8588, Wakayama, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama-shi 641-5810, Wakayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gen","family":"Sugita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gen ENT Clinic, 3-14-1, Takasu, Mihama-ku, Chiba-shi 261-0004, Chiba, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sachiko","family":"Hayata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Kinan Hospital, 46-70 Shinjo-cho, Tanabe-shi 646-8588, Wakayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masamitsu","family":"Kono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama-shi 641-5810, Wakayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muneki","family":"Hotomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama-shi 641-5810, Wakayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"45","article-title":"Coblation versus traditional tonsillectomy: A double blind randomized controlled trial","volume":"17","author":"Omrani","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
