Adenotonsillar surgery trends show an increase in procedures, particularly adenoidectomies, over a decade. While gender and age demographics remained stable, the types of surgeries performed have shifted due to evolving medical indications.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Adenotonsillar surgery is a common procedure in otolaryngology.
  • Understanding epidemiological trends is crucial for healthcare planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate changes in epidemiological factors of adenotonsillar surgery.
  • To analyze trends in surgical procedures and patient demographics between 1992 and 2002.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 1,958 adenotonsillar operations.
  • Data collected from 1992 to 2002.

Main Results:

  • Adenoidectomies constituted the majority of procedures (59%), followed by adenotonsillectomies (28%) and tonsillectomies (13%).

  • The proportion of adenotonsillectomies decreased, while adenoidectomies increased during the study period.
  • Surgery was predominantly performed on males, with no significant changes in gender or average age observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adenotonsillar surgery volume has increased in recent years.
    • The relative frequency of different surgical procedures has changed, influenced by new clinical indications.
    • Demographic factors like gender and age showed stability over the observed period.
