To evaluate and compare the efficacy of postoperative control with digital photographs and physical examination for children who underwent tonsillectomy?
In this prospective study, 86 children (46 boys (53.5%) and 40 girls (46.5%) were enrolled for postoperative clinical visit and for obtaining photographs of the tonsillar bed with a digital camera at clinic control.
No difference in tonsillar fossa healing was observed between the two methods 2 weeks after surgery.
Digital photographs proved to be a safe method for postoperative control of pediatric patients who underwent tonsillectomy. Adding control with outpatient follow-up will be useful for minimizing postoperative complications.
评估并比较数码照片与体格检查对接受扁桃体切除术儿童的术后控制效果。
在这项前瞻性研究中，86名儿童（46名男孩（53.5%）和40名女孩（46.5%））参加了术后临床随访，并在门诊复查时用数码相机拍摄扁桃体窝照片。
术后2周，两种方法在扁桃体窝愈合方面未观察到差异。
数码照片被证明是对接受扁桃体切除术的儿科患者进行术后控制的一种安全方法。增加门诊随访控制将有助于减少术后并发症。
