An electrosurgical curette probe for an adenoidectomy procedure, comprising an elongated electrically-insulating body portion having at a proximate end an electrical connector for receiving electrosurgical RF currents and a fitting for receiving a suction conduit. The electrical connector is internally connected to an active electrode at the distal end of the body portion, which active electrode comprises a bare sharp blade extending across the spaced arms of a claw-shaped end of the body portion. Viewed from the top, the claw-shaped end curves downward, the blade extends in a direction perpendicular to an extension of the longitudinal axis of the body portion, and the sharp cutting edge of the blade faces upwardly. Terminating just behind the claw-shaped end and facing the curved claw-shaped end is a nozzle opening of the suction conduit housed in the body portion and connected to the fitting.
