Abstract:

The problem of chronic tonsillitis remains one of the urgent problems of modern otorhinolaryngology. The article discusses the statistics and complications of chronic tonsillitis, provides indications for tonsillectomy and its main complications.

OBJECTIVE

Generalization and systematization of data on the impact of surgical treatment on the quality of life of patients with chronic tonsillitis.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Search for literary sources, carried out using the search engines of the RSCI, PubMed, Web of Science, and eLibrary.

RESULTS

A review of literature sources demonstrates a significant improvement in the quality of life of patients after tonsillectomy; however, data from some studies show a trend towards a decrease in the number of planned tonsillectomies and an associated increase in the detection of local purulent-septic complications

Keywords:

chronic tonsillitis
tonsillectomy
quality of life
