Several surgical techniques have been used during tonsillectomy to reduce complications.To assess the effects of pillar suture in conjunction with tonsillectomy as compared to tonsillectomy without suture in children.Two authors OBJECTIVE
The most common postoperative complications of velopharyngeal insufficiency surgery are postoperative bleeding and airway obstruction or obstructive sleep apnoea. Consequently, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low level laser therapy (LLLT) during the first postoperative
The indications for pediatric adenotonsillectomy have changed over time from chronic pharyngitis to sleep-disordered breathing. It is important to thoroughly evaluate children for symptoms related to these problems. Symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing range from snoring to obstructive events.
Cleft lip/palate is a facial anomaly caused by an abnormal developmental process. It is also the most common congenital anomaly. Orthognathic surgery is required in 25% of patients with cleft lip and palate for the correction of dentofacial deformity. There are various complications OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of hoarseness in the cleft palate population.
METHODS
Retrospective chart review from a tertiary pediatric hospital's craniofacial clinic.
METHODS
Nonsyndromic patients with cleft palate who had undergone cleft palate repair were eligible for inclusion. Patients
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and outcomes of velopharyngeal surgeries combined with hypopharyngeal surgeries as single-stage interventions for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
METHODS
Retrospective analysis of operated patients. The velopharyngeal surgical
Tonsillectomy is one of the most common operations performed by otolaryngologists. Some extraordinary complications of this surgery are massive bleeding, taste perception disorders due to glossopharyngeal nerve damage, hematoma of the mouth floor, jugular vein thrombosis, Grisel syndrome, cervical
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to assess the impact of electrocautery on complications in adenoidectomy. We sought to quantify cautery-related temperature changes in prevertebral fascia that may occur during the procedure, retrospectively evaluate the incidence of cautery-related complications, and
BACKGROUND
A series of retrospectively recorded patients with cleft lip and palate was uniquely investigated to demonstrate and analyze the complications after cleft repairing operations in a selected Chinese population.
METHODS
From January 2005 to January 2012, a selected group of 2100 patients
Adenotonsillectomy is generally safe surgery, but surgeons should be cognizant of potential complications and be prepared to manage them. Postoperative hemorrhage usually responds to local measures or cautery but can be life-threatening. Preoperative screening of coagulation profiles appears
