Summary

For the purpose of quality assurance, the Swedish Association for Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck surgery has developed several national registers concerning ear, nose and throat care. One of these is the National Tonsil Surgery Registry in Sweden (NTSRS). In NTSRS patients undergoing tonsil surgery for benign indications are included. Data regarding indication, surgical methods and techniques as well as patient reported outcomes measures are collected. The register is designed to facilitate description of clinical activities in a unit and help identify the need of clinical improvement programs. By compiling national data, the register can be used to describe clinical practice in a large national cohort.
