**10. Microdebrider tonsillectomy**

This is another method for intracapsular tonsillectomy. The microdebrider is a powered rotary shaving device with continuous suction, made up of a tube, and connected to a hand piece, which, in turn, is connected to a motor with foot control and a suction device. A partial tonsillectomy is completed with the removal of approximately 90% to 95% of the tonsil, while preserving the tonsillar capsule.
