Randomized Clinical Trial for Tonsil Surgery in Adults With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Enlarged Tonsils (TONOS)

2026年5月31日 更新者:Jaakko Piitulainen、Turku University Hospital

Multicenter, National, Randomized, Patient-Blinded, Parallel Group, Non-Inferiority Trial To Compare Tonsillotomy Versus Extracapsular Tonsillectomy in Adults With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Tonsil Hypertrophy: The TONOS Trial.

The aim is to investigate whether the tissue-preserving tonsil surgery technique is as effective as complete tonsil removal in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. The primary outcome measure is the change in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) before surgery and at 4-6, 24, and 60 months after surgery.

研究概览

详细说明

Adult reviews suggest tonsillotomy (TT) reduces morbidity compared to tonsillectomy (TE). In pediatric populations, the effectiveness of partial tonsil surgery for sleep apnea (OSA) is well-documented. It remains unclear if TT is non-inferior to TE in adults in the treatment of OSA. This study compares TE with TT in adults using change in apnea-hypopnea index as the primary endpoint.

The hypothesis is that TT is non-inferior compared to TE in treating patients with moderate or severe OSA and grade 2 to 4 tonsil size.

Participants are blinded to the allocated intervention with an allocation ratio 1:1. Participants will be recruited from patients referred to an outpatient hospital clinic. The trial will be carried out in four tertiary hospitals in Finland.

有源比较器:Tonsillectomy

TE will be performed by dissection in the peritonsillar plane. Parts of the upper and lateral palatal mucosal arches will be incised, and an extracapsular dissection for complete tonsil excision will be performed.

The surgical instrumentation (eg. cold steel, monopolar diathermy with a pen electrode, bipolar scissors, coblation technique or a microdebrider) is selected by the surgeon.

TT will be performed by removing approximately 60 - 90% of the tonsillar tissue, leaving a rim of tonsillar tissue on the tonsillar fossae. The tonsil capsule will not be breached.
