Tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy are frequently performed operations. They are typically done as a day-of-surgery admission with discharge on the first postoperative day. Five hundred consecutive tonsillectomies and adenotonsillectomies performed by the authors were retrospectively reviewed to determine if these procedures could safely be performed on an outpatient basis. Primary postoperative hemorrhage was found to be rare using the suction cautery technique. Secondary hemorrhage occurred most commonly on the sixth postoperative day and the overall postoperative bleed rate was 7%. Our conclusion was that suction cautery tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy were safe to perform on an outpatient basis.
扁桃体切除术和腺样体扁桃体切除术是常见的手术。这些手术通常在手术当天入院，术后第一天出院。作者对连续进行的500例扁桃体切除术和腺样体扁桃体切除术进行了回顾性研究，以确定这些手术是否可以在门诊安全进行。使用吸引电灼技术发现原发性术后出血很少见。继发性出血最常见于术后第六天，术后总体出血率为7%。我们的结论是，吸引电灼扁桃体切除术和腺样体扁桃体切除术在门诊进行是安全的。
