Postoperative bleeding after tonsillectomy – a risk factor study on 28,254 patients
The cold + cold technique significantly reduces postoperative bleeding, but the cold + hot technique remains the most utilized approach. Norway performed more surgeries in high-risk age groups and had less frequent use of the cold + cold technique compared to Sweden. Increased adoption of the cold + cold technique may improve outcome in tonsil surgery.
