title: [Assistive devices for tonsillectomy under general anesthesia].
abstract: Tonsillectomy may cause many complications. Frequent and one of the most important of them is massive bleeding. Haemorrhage in the region of the inferior pole of tonsilla is peculiarly difficult to subdue. The authors describe two devices of own design for tonsillectomy under general anesthesia. "The junction" as well as "the support" make surgeon work easier. Intervention is also the less time consuming and may be done without aid of an assistant. "The support" seems to be especially recommendable for smaller laryngological departments not equipped with Kleinsasser set of instruments.
