[Complications analysis of adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy assisted with ablation on children]. 2017
Objective:To analyze the complications of adenotonsilectomy assisted with coblation in children. Method:Complications of 2 089 cases of children with adenoid and tonsil surgery assisted with coblation, in our hospital nearly 10 years, were analyzed by epidemiological methods through the method of retrospective analysis. Result:①the sex ratio of male to female was 2.08:1, average age (5.87±3.12) years old, and most of 2 089 cases 76.35% (1 595/2 089) were 3-7 years old; ②all cases underwent adenoidectomy. Different surgery methods of tonsil consisted of three groups as partial resection associated with ablation was 69.17% (1 445/2 089), ablation (channeling) alone was 22.26% (465/2 089) and total resection was 8.57% (179/208). The amount of bleeding in operation was (8.52±3.18)ml, average operation time was (30.15±8.26) minutes, the postoperative pain score was (3.77±1.61); ③The incidence of postoperative complications: postoperative bleeding (all were secondary bleeding cases) rate was 0.24% (5/2 089), recurrence rate was 0.14% (3/2 089), prevertebral lymphadenitis was 0.96% (20/2 089), the other was 0.29% (torus hyperplasia in 2 cases, dyspnea in 2 cases, 1 cases of angle of mouth burned, nasopharyngeal adhesion in 1 cases). Postoperative fever rate was 9.81% (205/2 089). Conclusion:coblation technique is a good method for the treatment of children's adenoids and tonsil diseases with high efficiency and low complications. But improving the operation procedure proficiency level and skills of operation is an important link to reduce complications.
