title: [Tonsillectomy and tonsillotomy: ENT surgeon and pediatric viewpoints].
abstract: Tonsillotomy and tonsillectomy are most frequently performed interventions during childhood. There is a need for a critical assessment of indication by using selected criteria. The collaboration of pediatricians and ENT surgeons is essential. Tonsillotomy in children < 6 years of age is associated with lower rates of postoperative bleeding.
