Clinical Trial Summary

Comparing the classical extracapsular tonsillectomy (TE) performed with electrosurgery to intracapsular approaches (SIPT) by coblation or microdebrider. The patient group is adults with recurrent or chronic tonsillitis


Clinical Trial Description

Extracapsular tonsillectomy (TE) with monopolar electrosurgery is the most commonly used approach in adult tonsil surgery in Turku University Central Hospital, Finland. In our study setting we are comparing intracapsular tonsillectomy (subtotal/intracapsular/partial tonsillectomy (SIPT) ) as the intervention group with extracapsular tonsillectomy as the control group. SIPT is done with either coblation or microdebrider and TE with monopolar electrosurgery. Indications for surgery are recurrent tonsillitis or chronic tonsillitis. The patient group is adults (16-65 years) Safety, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are monitored in a prospective, patient-blinded and randomised study setting. ;
