The analysis of 1247 case histories of chronic tonsillitis and peritonsillar abscesses of tonsillogenic origin has shown that annual number of tonsillectomies for chronic tonsillitis is decreasing while the number of patients with peritonsillar abscesses is going up. The tendency is explained by several factors, among them overestimation of the efficacy reached with conservative therapy of chronic tonsillitis. The authors promote wider use of tonsillectomy as an effective preventive tool for peritonsillar abscesses. The latter should be more frequently managed with abscess tonsillectomy.
对1247例源自扁桃体的慢性扁桃体炎和扁桃体周围脓肿病例史的分析表明，因慢性扁桃体炎进行扁桃体切除术的年例数在减少，而扁桃体周围脓肿患者的数量在增加。这种趋势可由多种因素解释，其中包括对慢性扁桃体炎保守治疗效果的高估。作者提倡更广泛地使用扁桃体切除术作为预防扁桃体周围脓肿的有效手段。对于扁桃体周围脓肿，应更频繁地采用脓肿扁桃体切除术进行治疗。
