Abstract
Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) remains a clinically significant and potentially life-threatening complication and variability in reported incidence and predictors across institutions continues to challenge standardized risk stratification and perioperative management. The two-year study retrospectively assessed the frequency and severity of postoperative bleeding at the tertiary otolaryngology centre. Operative and clinical variables were examined to determine the factors related to secondary and primary hemorrhage. The hemorrhage rate overall was in line with the current population-based research. Multivariable analysis showed age, surgical indications and the use of perioperative medications as significant predictors.
Keywords
