“…- Abscesstonsillectomy (tonsillectomy à chaud; TAC): In 1859, TAC was first promoted by Chaissaignac [347], it was recommended as standard therapy by Winckler in 1911 [348] and Barnes in 1915 [390], a first trial was published by Virtanen in 1949 [349]. In different studies, TAC turned out to be a safe measure that leads with only one single inpatient stay (later even performed on an outpatient basis) to the definitive problem solution in adults and children [261], [262], [263], [264], [377], [379], [391], [392], [393], [394] and to less disease-related losses of earnings in comparison to ITE [264].
