Abstract

The authors review the techniques described for the surgical treatment of the tonsils. Each new method has its own advantages and disadvantages. The difference can be evaluated by studying the intraoperative blood loss and safety of the procedure. Also, the postoperative complications and quality of life can be used as an adjunct to objectively appreciate the different surgical techniques. There is no literature consensus about the superiority of one technique over the other. Multiple studies brought multiple significant results. It is also hard to evaluate the entire panel of surgical methods described concomitantly. The experience of one surgeon and his/her mastering of a certain technique is the actual cause of so many surgical options still in use for tonsil treatment in children.

Highlights

  • The authors review the techniques described for the surgical treatment of the tonsils

  • Din acest motiv s-au efectuat studii şi s-au elaborat noi tehnici şi tehnologii axate pe ameliorarea disconfortului şi complicaţiilor postoperatorii, cu reintegrarea cât mai rapidă a pacientului într-o viaţă normală

  • 2. Rata mare a sângerărilor postoperatorii după tehnicile electrice („hot“) comparativ cu tehnicile convenţionale a fost comunicată în mai multe studii în cazul coblaţiei

Summary

Introduction

The authors review the techniques described for the surgical treatment of the tonsils. Cazurile numeroase au dus la adoptarea unor tehnici chirurgicale noi, precum şi la dezvoltarea unor echipamente chirurgicale care să confere pacientului o recuperare postoperatorie cât mai rapidă. Tulburările de somn şi patologia infecţiei cronice de focar amigdalian reprezintă unele din cele mai frecvente probleme ale copiilor, având în principal indicaţie chirurgicală [1,2].
