Abstract
There appears to be reduced symptom burden in those waiting for tonsillectomy during the COVID-19 pandemic Despite reduced symptom burden, most patients wished to go ahead with elective tonsillectomy COVID-19 infection does not appear to be a factor in those patients no longer wishing to have a tonsillectomy Patients should be reassessed during long waiting times to see if symptom burden has improved and if tonsillectomy is still required Due to long waiting times it is important to ensure information giving can be repeated to allow adequate informed consent given the morbidity of tonsillectomy.
