Epure, Veronica; Gheorghe, D. C.
- Abstract
The authors review tonsillectomy from the patient's point of view, trying to find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions regarding tonsillectomy: will the child be more prone to respiratory disease or weight gain after tonsillectomy?; is there any age limitation or seasonal variation of risks in tonsillectomy?; will the new surgical methods (i.e. coblation) reduce pain and bleeding risk after tonsillectomy? Materials and method. The authors compare their own clinical cases to cases reviewed from the literature. Conclusion. Tonsillectomy in children remains an important and up-to-date surgical technique, with well known indications and obvious benefits.
