BACKGROUND: Chronic lingual tonsillitis (CLT) entails persistent inflammation of the lingual tonsils (LT), presenting in recurrent infections, throat discomfort, dyspnea, dysphagia, and LT hypertrophy.
METHODS: A retrospective observational study at a nonacademic general hospital described outcomes of CLT patients undergoing base of tongue (BOT) reduction via transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Primary outcomes were changes in patient-reported quality of swallowing and life and were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months post-TORS. Secondary outcomes were tonsillitis complaints, LT Friedman grade, and postoperative complications.
RESULTS: Thirty-three patients were included, 5 patients were lost to follow-up at 6 and 12 months. Improved swallowing experience and enhanced quality of life were observed. Tonsillitis scores decreased significantly (mean 7.8 to 1.65 p < 0.001). LT Friedman grade reduced, with 69.7% achieving grade 0 at 12-months follow-up. Two patients experienced postoperative bleeding.
CONCLUSIONS: TORS appears effective and safe for treating CLT improving swallowing, and overall quality of life for patients and reducing tonsillitis complaints.
