Abstract

In an optimal situation, a surgical procedure would be one that generates minimal post—operative pain, incurs little or no bleeding, and allows the patient to return to their normal daily activities in the shortest time period. A tonsillectomy is one of the most common operations performed in the world. Various surgical procedures for tonsillectomy are performed with a wide array of opinions to support the pros and cons of each technique.
