When surgery is indicated for benign lingual tonsillar hypertrophy, the surgical procedure varies with the degree of hypertrophy. Lateral soft-tissue radiography of the neck provides an excellent adjunct to clinical examination as a means of assessing the degree of hypertrophy. Pre-operative radiography is therefore recommended when difficulty or uncertainty arises in assessing the extent of hypertrophy clinically.
当因良性舌扁桃体肥大而需要进行手术时，手术方式会因肥大程度而异。颈部侧位软组织X线摄影作为评估肥大程度的一种手段，是临床检查的极佳辅助方法。因此，当临床上评估肥大程度出现困难或不确定时，建议进行术前X线摄影。
