Peritonsillar abscess (PTA), a prevalent condition leading to significant healthcare visits and hospitalizations annually in the United States, represents a critical area in otolaryngology. The management of PTA has undergone notable evolution, transitioning from primarily open surgical interventions to more conservative approaches like primary antibiotic therapy in select cases. This shift highlights the dynamic nature of otolaryngologic practice and the necessity for continual learning and adaptation. Our session is designed to provide otolaryngologists with an in-depth understanding of the latest evidence and best practices in managing peritonsillar abscesses. Emphasizing the differential approaches in pediatric and adult populations, the session aims to equip practitioners with the knowledge to make informed decisions tailored to individual patient needs.
