POSTOPERATIVE BLEEDING AFTER MICRODEBRIDER-ASSISTED INTRACAPSULAR TONSILLECTOMY AND EXTRACAPSULAR TONSILLECTOMY. A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

Introduction: Post-tonsillectomy bleeding is one of the most common complications tonsillectomy. The rate varies with different methods. Objective: purpose study was to compare prevalence postoperative after total, extracapsular tonsillectomy, and subtotal, intracapsular, microscope- microdebrider- assisted Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent a tonsillectomy in period two years. compared surgical methods, microdebrider-assisted intracapsular Results: Five hundred seventy were included study.
