Comparative effectiveness of partial versus total tonsillectomy in children.
This review assessed the effectiveness of partial versus total tonsillectomy in children. Data did not allow firm conclusions regarding the comparative benefit of partial versus total removal; however, neither surgical technique nor extent of surgery appeared to affect outcomes markedly. Partial tonsillectomy conferred moderate advantages in return to normal diet/activity but was also associated with tonsillar regrowth and symptom recurrence.
