A tonsillectomy suction dissector apparatus (100) having a proximal handle (101) and a distal curved tip (102) which has a suction channel (103) within and along the tip connecting at least one suction inlet port (105) to a vacuum port. The apparatus has a flexible cutting blade member (106) slidably retained and orientated widthwise within a corresponding slot (107) and configurable by hand operable locking mechanism (108) between an extended position wherein a distal cutting end (109) of the cutting blade member extends from the end of the tip and a retracted position. The shape and orientation of the blade allows the blade to bend within the slot when being extended for cutting.
