RESUMO
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the perioperative indicators, treatment efficacy, and postoperative complications between tonsillotomy and tonsillectomy for children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. METHODS: A total of 134 children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome were divided into tonsillotomy group (n=66) and tonsillectomy group (n=68). The tonsillotomy group received tonsillotomy treatment with a power cutter, while the tonsillectomy group received tonsillectomy treatment. The perioperative indicators, treatment efficacy, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in operative time between the two groups (p>0.05), with significant difference in amount of blood loss, postoperative Visual Analogue Scale score, food intake amount, and general diet-taking starting time between the two groups (p<0.05). The total effective rate of treatment had no significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). There was significant difference in postoperative bleeding, upper respiratory tract infection, and pharyngeal scar grade between the two groups (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with tonsillectomy treatment for children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, tonsillotomy treatment is more beneficial to optimize the perioperative indicators, relieve the postoperative pain, facilitate the postoperative recovery, and reduce the postoperative complications, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
