Objective This study aims to investigate the effect of lengthening early postoperative hospitalization on post-tonsillectomy bleeding and retrospectively analyzes patients who were operated on for a recurrent tonsillitis diagnosis. Materials and Methods The study includes a total of 92 patients who underwent a tonsillectomy for a recurrent tonsillitis diagnosis. The patients were divided into two groups: those discharged on postoperative day 1 (Group A), and those hospitalized for a more extended period (Group B). Both groups were compared in terms of bleeding after the tonsillectomy. Results In both groups, none of the patients aged 15 or under presented with post-tonsillectomy bleeding. For patients over the age of 15, no re-admission to the hospital with postoperative bleeding occurred in Group B, while 10 patients (10.9%) from Group A presented with complaints of bleeding and were re-hospitalized. Conclusion Extending the early hospitalization period to at least two days in tonsillectomies to be performed for recurrent tonsillitis, especially for late adolescents and adult patients, may reduce the likelihood of a revisit with post-tonsillectomy bleeding. |
