Abstract:

Objective   To explore the clinical effectiveness of dissection combined with guillotine tonsillectomy in adults. Method   In 238 adult chronic tonsillitis patients, 130 (experimental group) were treated by dissection combined with guillotine tonsillectomy, while the other 108 (control group)  were treated by dissection tonsillectomy only. Result   The experimental group showed shorter operation time and less bleeding compared with the control group (both P<0.01). There was no case of primary bleeding in experimental group, however, two cases of primary hemorrhage were noted in the control group. No case of secondary bleeding in either group. Conclusion   Adult tonsillectomy with dissection combined with guillotine is easy to practice. It can minimize bleeding, shorten the operation time, and decrease the patient’s discomfort.
