The palatine tonsils are paired aggregates of lymphoid tissue that are surgically removed as a result of primary tonsillar disease, or are extirpated in an effort to decrease upper airway resistance in conjunction with other procedures of the oropharynx. Complications from tonsillectomy can arise for three reasons: 1) the effects of tonsil disease on the function of the oropharyngeal regions; 2) surgical dissection in the region; or 3) postoperative complication of the insult to tissue. Thorough preoperative patient evaluation, gentle tissue handling plus meticulous hemostasis, and careful observation during the postoperative period are stressed in this discussion of problems in tonsillar surgery.
腭扁桃体是成对的淋巴组织聚集体,因原发性扁桃体疾病而被手术切除,或与口咽的其他手术一起被摘除,以降低上呼吸道阻力。扁桃体切除术的并发症可能由三个原因引起:1)扁桃体疾病对口咽区域功能的影响;2)该区域的手术解剖;或3)组织损伤的术后并发症。在本次扁桃体手术问题讨论中,强调术前对患者进行全面评估、轻柔处理组织并细致止血,以及术后仔细观察。
