Adenoids, tonsillectomy is the most common surgery for children, the danger of adenoid tonsil hypertrophy can refer to the corresponding article I wrote, but because of the surgery for children, parents are often very worried and hesitant, now the common problems of this surgery is explained as follows, I hope parents have some understanding, to relieve concerns.
1, anesthesia risk: mainly drug allergies, intubation difficulties, missuction problems, etc., it should be said that with the continuous progress of anesthesia technology, anesthesia drugs, general anesthesia problems have been very rare, my department has more than 1400 general anesthesia surgery a year, anesthesia basically did not have any problems, only one child intraoperative tachycardia, postoperative echocardiography found that there is a precordial, oval hole is not closed, so as long as not Therefore, as long as there are no special allergies and no other hidden diseases, general anesthesia is still relatively safe.
2, bleeding problem: because the pharynx is the place of eating, breathing and speaking, it is impossible to be still after surgery, so the chance of bleeding after surgery is higher than other surgeries, with statistics ranging from 1-3%, bleeding is divided into primary bleeding (i.e. bleeding within 24 hours after surgery) and secondary bleeding (generally 7-10 days after surgery), primary bleeding is related to incomplete intraoperative hemostasis, blood scabs falling off at the cautery, etc., but because The bleeding occurs in the hospital and can mostly be stopped again in time. Secondary bleeding is relatively rare, mostly related to the postoperative area pseudomembrane shedding, the incidence is less than 1%, our hospital generally 2-3 years a case, the incidence is about 0.3%, such as the emergence should be timely to the nearby hospital ENT department with the conditions to stop bleeding, rather than to the surgical hospital, so as not to affect the treatment.
3, pain problem: after all, it is surgery, even with the most advanced surgical instruments, such as low-temperature plasma radiofrequency, some children still feel more pain, generally can be solved by the use of static pain medication, some parents insist that children do not use pain medication, consider more (I am not very good comment), in fact, effective pain relief is conducive to the early resumption of normal feeding, drinking, and early recovery of the body.
