Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in children in the United States. Indications and recommendations for perioperative management are multiple and may vary among clinicians. Although tonsillectomy is a safe procedure, it can be associated with morbidity. Several techniques have been developed to reduce perioperative complications, but evidence of this reduction is lacking. This article provides clinicians with evidence-based guidance on perioperative clinical decision making and surgical technique for tonsillectomy.
扁桃体切除术是美国儿童中最常见的外科手术之一。围手术期管理的适应症和建议多种多样，临床医生之间可能存在差异。尽管扁桃体切除术是一种安全的手术，但它可能会引发并发症。已经开发了几种技术来减少围手术期并发症，但缺乏这方面减少的证据。本文为临床医生提供了关于扁桃体切除术围手术期临床决策和手术技术的循证指导。
