Abstract

Recurrent episodes of chronic tonsillitis (CT) can affect a patient's quality of life, physical and mental health. Clinicians often perform surgeries to remove them. Traditional surgical methods are varied, despite their advantages. However, this remains controversial. This study aimed to examine both the safety and efficacy of low-temperature plasma tonsillectomy (LTPT) in treatment of chronic tonsillitis, which may provide a substitute for clinicians and compensate for the short supply of therapeutic procedures.
