This paper compares the incidence of secondary haemorrhage in post-tonsillectomy patients who were discharged 48 hours after operation (2.8%) with those discharged at 24 hours (3%). There was no significant difference between the groups. A higher incidence of secondary haemorrhage in those patients in whom diathermy was used for haemostasis rather than ligatures (P less than 0.01) supports previous studies.
本文比较了扁桃体切除术后48小时出院的患者（2.8%）与24小时出院的患者（3%）继发性出血的发生率。两组之间无显著差异。使用电凝止血而非结扎止血的患者继发性出血发生率较高（P小于0.01），这支持了先前的研究。
