What ENT surgical procedures are most frequent in the UK (private and public). What is your opinion on the pre-operative management of these conditions?
ENT would probably be tonsillectomy though it is not performed as often nowadays. In the past the used to take children's tonsils out straight away, now they are only removed if the child is getting persistant tonsillitis which is affecting their life such as missing school frequently. With adults they don't remove them as often as it has more complecations. I got tonsillitis at 18 for the first time and had it permanently for 2 years before it was decided it would be easier to take them out.
