The Voice and T0nsillect0my.
Sometime ago we asserted that the
fear Of voice impairment as result
OF removal ot the tonsiIs was without
foundation. We were wrong about it,
T0nsjlectomy does sometimes fujure
the speaking, and more often the sing
ing voice
A shufuI Chicago throat specialist
asserts that only about one case in
twenty tonsillectomies approaches an
ideal antOmiaal result. the anterior
pillar OF the throat is totally oblib-

in nasal voice. A throat with
naturally long soft palate is less like

than throat with a shorter soft pal

that the lntraCapsujaT operation re

requires considerably more skill by

euucleating, instead of cutting or

voice less liable to suffer when the in
evitable contraction takes place in the
scar Of the operation later on.
Fortunately, there is now a strong
wave OF conservatism sweeping over
the profession, as regards tonsfI ope-
rations. We are learning to think
several times before attacking merely
enlarged tonsils in children. There
are more unnecessary tonsiuectomies
