Routine pathological evaluation after tonsillectomy: is it necessary?
Our results indicate that routine histopathological examination of tonsils removed for benign disease in adults and children is clinically unnecessary. We propose that on an individual basis, the surgeon should decide the need for histological examination depending on preoperative risk factors and peroperative gross examination. Such a strategy will only be medicolegally possible where there are national and scientifically (evidence)based ENT consensus reports or guidelines on this issue.
The initial use of an echinocandin-based regimen does not seem to negatively influence outcome in C. parapsilosis BSI.
