The present study was conducted on patients admitted in ward in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at SMS Medical College and Hospital, JaipurFrom July 2019 to June 2020 on a sample size of 40 patient diagnosed as adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy of grade 3–4. Each patient underwent tonsillectomy by cold dissection method on one side and by ultrasonic scalpel on other. In our study Mean operation time, mean blood loss, Analogue score for post-operative pain at 24hrs and 7th postoperative day respectively and Healing of wound on 14th post-operative day were significantly lower in cases of tonsillectomy with harmonic scalpel than cold dissection method tonsillectomy.
