What Is The Difference Between Adult Versus Child Tonsilectomies?
Question: I have an assignment to research complications in adult versus child tonsilectomies.
Hi and thanks for the query,
rather than listing, i will give some websites that shall give you more insight, but if you want me to list, drop a follow up and I shall be glad doing so. But this is the best option , I believe.
As a general rule, the complication shall depend on the surgical technique actuallu used. More frequent in children than adults. Commonest are related to bleeding, anesthesia, air way obstruction, mendelson s syndrome or aspiration pneumonia, post surgical pain, infection.
