Haemorrhage Rates After Two Commonly Used Tonsillectomy Methods: a Multicenter Study

Abstract

We conclude that the surgical technique used for tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy with the lowest post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage rate is the hot technique; these results are statistically significant. This technique should be used whenever possible, in order to lower the risk of post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage.
