POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS OF ADENOTONSILLOTOMY: FREQUENCY AND PREVENTION
Abstract
Adenotonsillotomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in pediatric otorhinolaryngology. Despite its high efficacy in treating obstructive airway disorders, the risk of postoperative complications remains significant. The most frequent complications include hemorrhage, infections, respiratory disturbances, and scar formation. This article provides a review of current literature on the incidence of complications following adenotonsillotomy and examines effective prevention methods, including preoperative preparation, the use of advanced surgical technologies, and a multidisciplinary approach to patient management. Special attention is given to promising strategies aimed at reducing the risk of postoperative bleeding and improving clinical outcomes.
