Chronic Tonsillitis

The goal of this study is to optimize the duration of sick leave and the usage of opioids following partial tonsillar surgery in adults by comparing the recovery after extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECTE) with recovery after intracapsular tonsillectomy (ICTE). An additional objective is to confirm that ICTE is as effective as ECTE when comparing TOI-14 scores after 12 months post-operatively. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Is 10 days sick leave enough after partial tonsillectomy (ICTE)? * Are opioids needed at all after partial tonsillectomy (ICTE)? * Is ICTE as effective as ECTE when comparing TOI-14 symptom scores after 12 months from the surgery? Adult patients who are scheduled to tonsil surgery are randomised into 2 groups: ICTE and ECTE. Patients are blinded. Postoperatively they will answer structured questions about the recovery and effectiveness of the surgery. The last follow up survey is 60 months after the surgery.

This cohort study aims to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) resulting from chronic tonsillitis on pregnancy outcomes. The hypothesis posits that chronic tonsillitis-induced OSA may exacerbate pregnancy complications and increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
