Adenotonsillectomy is the standard surgery for moderate and severe sleep disorders breathing (SDB) in 2 to 6-year-old children, often due to tonsillar and adenoidal hypertrophy. Recently, partial subtotal intracapsular tonsillotomy has been developed to prevent risks linked to surgery, especially haemorrhages leading to death in extreme cases. Children with apnea, poor quality of life (sleep problems, daytime tiredness), poor academic performance or late growth are candidates for adenotonsillectomy.
