Abstract:

Objective To investigate the meaning and the surgical techniques of performing tonsillectomy by endoscopic surgery. Method 32 patients were treated by tonsillectomy (incising group) and 32 patients were treated by conventional stripping surgery (stripping group). The operation time, operation bleeding parameters, albuginea shedding as well as postoperative pain scale were compared and analyzed.  Result The incising group has much shorter operation time, milder postoperative pain and less blood loss (P<0.05).  However, albuginea shedding and the time returning to normal diet did not significantly differ (P>0.05).  Conclusion  The tonsillectomy by endoscopic surgery is safer, faster with less postoperative complications than conventional stripping surgery, which is worth popularizing.

Key words: Tonsillitis; Incising,  Stripping surgery
