At the moment, all over the world there are a large number of various methods of surgical treatment of chronic tonsillitis. In particular: classical tonsillectomy, cryosurgical method for removing the palatine tonsils, shaver tonsillectomy, monopolar and bipolar tonsillectomy, tonsillectomy with an ultrasonic scalpel, bipolar dissection using cutting instruments, laser tonsillectomy, coldablation. This article analyzes the existing methods, describes the fundamental technique for their implementation, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Given the abundance of various surgical approaches to the treatment of chronic tonsillitis, there is a need for studies aimed at comparative study of their clinical and microbiological efficacy, including the postoperative period.
