Abstract
Tonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure performed in children for recurrent tonsillitis and obstructive sleep apnea. Though tonsillectomy is a longstanding and well-known procedure, preferred techniques for delivering the most effective and safe care still vary amongst surgeons. In this review, we provide a comparison of intracapsular versus extracapsular tonsillectomy techniques and potential benefits of each.
