An Observational Review of Tonsillectomy and Appendectomy Procedures Conducted at a Tertiary Care Hospital

This review highlights the young demographic profile of patients undergoing tonsillectomy in a tertiary care hospital and underscores the relatively low incidence of appendectomy in this cohort. Despite the small subset of appendectomy cases, timely intervention may have contributed to the absence of complicated appendicitis. Notably, institutionwide data suggest that negative appendectomies remain rare overall, indicating a need for further research into this phenomenon. These findings underscore the need for continued surveillance and future multicenter studies to better elucidate potential shared risk factors and outcomes associated with these commonly performed surgical procedures.
