ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to review some issues on tonsils and adenoids surgery, with emphasis on preoperative evaluation, ancillary diagnostic test and careful patient selection for such surgeries. Some methods and techniques of tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy or both are here reviewed. Some relevant issues on postoperative morbidity and management of suffering associated diseases are studied.
