The number of operations for tonsillectomy have been significantly decreasing for many years in Germany. In children the number of adenotonsillectomies has decreased by two thirds within a decade. This phenomenon is mirrored by a significant increase in the number of annually performed tonsillotomies, a surgical procedure which is preferably performed for volume reduction in cases of tonsillar hypertrophy. The aim of this article is to elucidate the different interventional procedures, their typical indications and risks.
