Conclusions. Adenotomy with or without tonsillotomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical operations on children. Throughout many years the indications for this procedure were infringed.

There is also another indication although it is less frequently used. This indication is an occlusion disorder which needs to be treated orthodontically.
