Tonsillotomy

Tonsillotomy with radiofrequency is a safe and easy-to-learn procedure. Children with symptomatic tonsillar hyperplasia profit from it enormously. Compared to other procedures for removing parts of or even all tonsillar tissue, radiofrequency tonsillotomy for children with symptomatic tonsillar hyperplasia without chronic tonsillitis may be the treatment of choice.

Tonsillotomy is the most common routine operation in ENT and, all in all, one of the most commonly planned and performed surgeries.

Every year more then a 100.000 surgeries of its kind are performed in Germany alone.

Tonsillotomy with radiofrequency is a safe and easy-to-learn treatment method, which is especially beneficial for children.

Advantages

  • Safe and easy dissection of the tonsils
  • No specific post-operative treatment is required
