In a previous trials on children severely affected with recurrent tonsillar infection, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) was justified. However, current publication by the same authors demonstrated only modest benefit in mild to moderately affected children and claim that risk of surgery is not justified.

A national audit in England and Northern Ireland on post-operative hemorrhage after T&A revealed 0.6% primary and 3% secondary hemorrhage. Diathermy methods had increased risk of bleeding compared to cold steel dissection and stitch method.

This study demonstrated an improvement in OSA as per PSG and reduction of adenoid size with 6-week course of budesonide in children with mild SDB, and recommended that topical steroids should be the initial therapeutic option.

A meta-analysis of 23 studies on the treatment of pediatric OSA with T&A using PSG as metric of cure was conducted, which demonstrated that although complete resolution is not achieved in most cases, T&A offers significant improvement in OSA making it valuable first-line treatment.

This study compares the pre-operative and 1-year post-operative assessment of behavioral, cognitive and psychiatric morbidity in children undergo T&A. Results indicate that pre-operatively, children with sleep sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) have significant neurobehavioral morbidity that improves after the surgery.
