Tonsillectomies are most common surgical procedure done for children. So it‘s important for upcoming specialists no matter

UG/PG to have good idea and extensive experience about each step in the tonsillectomy technique. Tonsillectomy can develop a

life threatening problem in any patient. All these points lead to the need for proper understanding of the surgical technique. In our

institute we experimented demonstration of tonsillectomy under microscope where the surgeon operated under microscope and

the microscope was connected to the monitor. The group for which it was demonstrated under microscope had a better

understanding about the surgical anatomy and steps of tonsillectomy.
