Abstract
"There is no compelling evidence of any long term benefit from a T and A. Thus, the most conservative approach still seems appropriate. Consistent with the doctrine of primum non nocere (above all do no harm), the burden of proof of the efficacy for surgery should be on those who urge operation.".Keywords
