[A method of organ-preserving tonsillotomy]

An original method of conservative tonsillotomy proposed for surgical treatment of hypertrophic tonsils in preschool children preserves anatomical structures of the tonsils and relevant physiological functions, reduces duration of treatment, prevents chronic inflammation in the tonsillar tissues. The operation implies removal of small hypertrophic parts of the tonsil primarily in the lower pole. The operation is performed under anesthesia with tracheal intubation and employment of Bochon loop.
