[For prevention of complications, especially postoperative bleeding, in tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (author's transl)].
Hemorrhages after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are the most frequent lethal complications except of the mortality due to incidents of anaesthesia. A precise clinical, personal and family history regarding bleeding disorders must be taken. ⋯ A careful surgical technique for removal of tonsils and adenoids and meticulous hemostasis reduce the danger of postoperative bleeding. An exact control after the operation helps prevent serious complications.
