[Analysis of delayed consequences of lowered surgical activity for children with chronic tonsillitis]
Abstract:
Materials for the analysis of medical histories of the patients admitted for planned tonsillectomy and those in need of emergency surgical treatment for paratonsillar abscess were collected in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, G.N. Speransky City Children's Clinical Hospital No 9 during the periods from 1990 to 2007. Simultaneously, analysis of the work of the Departments of Cardiorheumatology and Nephrology of the same hospital was undertaken. It was shown that the reduction in the number of surgical interventions for the treatment of different forms of chronic tonsillitis in the last years resulted in the increased frequency of local complications and concomitant morbidity.
