- Title
TEHNICI CHIRURGICALE DE ABORDARE A PATOLOGIEI AMIGDALIENE ÎN PEDIATRIE.

Zamfir-Chiru-Anton, A.; Gheorghe, D. C.
- Abstract
The authors review the techniques described for the surgical treatment of the tonsils. Each new method has its own advantages and disadvantages. The difference can be evaluated by studying the intraoperative blood loss and safety of the procedure. Also, the postoperative complications and quality of life can be used as an adjunct to objectively appreciate the different surgical techniques. There is no literature consensus about the superiority of one technique over the other. Multiple studies brought multiple significant results. It is also hard to evaluate the entire panel of surgical methods described concomitantly. The experience of one surgeon and his/her mastering of a certain technique is the actual cause of so many surgical options still in use for tonsil treatment in children.
