Abstract
The frequency of tonsillectomy in the pediatric population and the significant amount of postoperative morbidity that accompanies surgical removal of the tonsils continues to engender significant debate regarding the optimal surgical technique. In addition, these factors also drive surgeons and manufacturers to devise new techniques and methodologies in limiting postoperative morbidity. This review discusses some of the most common techniques and innovations in tonsillectomy surgery and reviews current literature pertaining to these techniques.
