    Guillotine tonsillectomy without anesthesia is a safe and effective procedure, offering satisfactory results with minimal pain and reduced hemorrhage. This method is a viable alternative to anesthesia-based tonsillectomies.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Tonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure.
    • Anesthesia poses risks and side effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of guillotine tonsillectomy without anesthesia.
    • To compare guillotine tonsillectomy with dissection methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 11,140 guillotine tonsillectomies performed between 1958 and 1973.
    • Therapeutic results assessed in 4,190 cases.

    Main Results:

    • Over 93% of patients experienced no or slight pain during the operation.
    • No significant difference in cure rate or tonsillar fossa tissue size compared to dissection methods.

  • Lower incidence of postoperative hemorrhage.

    • Conclusions:

    • Guillotine tonsillectomy without anesthesia is safe, simple, convenient, and time-saving.
    • It offers satisfactory results and is less traumatic than anesthesia-based procedures.
    • Eliminates anesthesia-related dangers and side effects, making it a superior alternative.
