Modern techniques have reduced the long existing reluctance to perform lingual tonsillectomy. The results of treatment of hyperplasia of the lingual tonsil with the carbon dioxide laser in 32 patients are presented. After exposure with a special endoscope the lingual tonsil can be vaporized or excised under microscopic control with promising results, far superior to the results obtained with other surgical techniques. Since the success rate of the surgery depends on the diagnostic criteria for applying this therapy, a careful selection of patients is essential.
现代技术已经减少了长期以来对进行舌扁桃体切除术的抵触情绪。本文介绍了32例使用二氧化碳激光治疗舌扁桃体增生的结果。在使用特殊内窥镜暴露后，舌扁桃体可在显微镜控制下汽化或切除，效果良好，远优于其他手术技术所取得的结果。由于手术成功率取决于应用该疗法的诊断标准，因此仔细挑选患者至关重要。
