Coblation intracapsular tonsillectomy in children: A prospective study of 1257 consecutive cases with long-term follow-up.

Objectives: Intracapsular tonsillectomy (ICT) is increasingly adopted by paediatric centres worldwide due to its association with reduced pain, fast recovery and low risks of post-operative complications. Questions still surround its role in patients with recurrent tonsillitis, as well as tonsillar regrowth requiring revision surgery.

Design: Prospective consecutive case series from March 2013 to April 2020.
