Epidemiology of late postoperative bleeding in OSA-related tonsil surgery: a multicentric retrospective study
Late postoperative haemorrhage remains a serious complication of tonsil-related surgery with the potential for life-threatening outcomes. The marked variability in bleeding incidence between surgical techniques and departments highlights the need for standardised perioperative protocols. Although no fatalities occurred, the occurrence of severe cases underlines the importance of vigilant postoperative monitoring. In our OSA cohort, tonsillotomy showed favourable safety, and recent evidence suggests it may represent a valuable alternative also in recurrent tonsillitis, warranting further research.
