Abstract

Tonsillectomy is an extremely common ENT surgical procedure. There is a growing interest in the role of intracapsular dissection tonsillectomy (ICDT) due to reported reduced perioperative complications. We aim to compare the outcomes associated with ICDT versus traditional extracapsular dissection tonsillectomy (ECDT) in the adult population.
