The generally accepted therapeutic regimen for peritonsillar abscess consists of the administration of parenteral antibiotics with incision and drainage followed by interval tonsillectomy in four to six weeks. Treatment by immediate tonsillectomy, however, is practiced widely in Europe and has received recent attention in the American literature. This report compares the clinical course of patients treated by interval tonsillectomy and immediate tonsillectomy. Patient morbidity was lessened by immediate tonsillectomy, since two separate surgical procedures were avoided, and the total period of hospitalization was reduced by nearly 50%. Advantages and disadvantages of both methods of therapy are discussed.
扁桃体周脓肿普遍接受的治疗方案包括注射抗生素、切开引流，随后在四至六周内行择期扁桃体切除术。然而，即刻扁桃体切除术在欧洲应用广泛，近期在美国文献中也受到关注。本报告比较了择期扁桃体切除术和即刻扁桃体切除术患者的临床病程。即刻扁桃体切除术降低了患者的发病率，因为避免了两次单独的外科手术，且总住院时间减少了近50%。文中讨论了两种治疗方法的优缺点。
