In this retrospective study tonsillotomy with CO2-laser in early childhood leads to a long-term elimination of obstructive symptoms due to tonsillar hyperplasia with minimal discomfort for the patient while preserving normally functioning immunocompetent tonsillar tissue. Further prospective studies are planned.
