[Conducting bilateral tonsillectomy in patients after kidney transplantation. Clinical observation]

The experience of performing bilateral tonsillectomy under general anesthesia for two patients with a transplanted kidney receiving immunosuppressive therapy is presented. In both patients after surgery, pain and inflammatory changes in the postsurgery wound were minimal. However, in the postsurgery period, infection was observed in patients, this required the prescription of systemic antibacterial drugs. On the background of immunosuppressive therapy, the clinical course of chronic tonsillitis proceeded without severe symptoms, despite the decompensation of the chronic process in the tonsils. Due to severe concomitant renal pathology and with a transplanted kidney, such patients need to be examined and treated in a multidisciplinary hospital. Indications for surgical treatment of these patients should be substantiated together with nephrologists, otolaryngologists and anesthetists.
