Tonsil and Adenoid Surgery
Otolaryngologists use a variety of safe and efficacious techniques and instruments to perform tonsil and adenoid surgery. Based on available data, the AAO-HNS does not find that one technique or instrument is clearly superior. The AAO-HNS supports the discretion of surgeons to determine and recommend the appropriate treatment for each individual patient. The AAO-HNS will continue to review this issue.
