Abstract
This is the first study to show that ultrasound is a suitable objective method for determining tonsillar volume in paediatric patients. Preoperative ultrasound assessment of tonsillar anatomy and size may be an additional and suitable, objective method in the development of a risk stratification system in children with obstructive sleep apnoea undergoing tonsillar surgery.
