Swallowing Difficulty after Cold Dissection and Bipolar Cautery Tonsillectomy: The Role of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and Allergic Rhinitis
The tonsillectomy technique affects postoperative swallowing difficulty. Cold dissection results in less swallowing-related morbidity compared to bipolar electrocautery due to reduced thermal tissue injury. LPR is associated with increased swallowing difficulty in both techniques, particularly in the bipolar group, while allergic rhinitis does not affect postoperative swallowing difficulty.
