Treatment of tonsillar crypt infection with CO2 laser: a preliminary report.

TL;DRAbstract

The treatment of tonsillar crypt infection by CO2 laser vaporization of the crypt and tonsillar tissue is safe, effective and cost effective. The procedure requires short operative time without any risk from general anesthesia and can be performed on out-patient basis. We advise the procedure as an alternative option to treat tonsillar crypt infection instead of standard tonsillectomy, but further studies should be carried out.
