    Context:

    • Tonsil carcinoma treatment involves radiotherapy, but surgical adjuncts are debated.
    • Surgical options include extended tonsillectomy with neck dissection or composite operations.
    • Advanced T3 stage tumors may necessitate specific surgical approaches.

    Purpose:

    • To review surgical management options for tonsil carcinoma.
    • To evaluate the role of different surgical interventions alongside radiotherapy.
    • To highlight the utility of composite operations for advanced disease.

    Summary:

    • Transcutaneous radiotherapy is the primary treatment for tonsil carcinoma.
    • Surgical intervention, including extended tonsillectomy or composite operations, is a point of discussion.
