A second anaesthetic for bleeding after adeno-tonsillectomy in children represents a significant hazard. The true incidence of this complication is assessed for over 20,000 operations. ⋯ Bleeding post-adenoidectomy is at least as common as post-tonsillectomy and both occur most frequently within 12 hours of operation. No reason for the bleeding occurring in these particular patients could be found.
