[Tonsillectomy in patients with bleeding disorders]

H Gastpar

    Fortschritte Der Medizin
    |May 19, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Post-tonsillectomy bleeding may indicate subtle hemostasis disorders, not major vessel injury. With precise testing and factor concentrates, patients with bleeding disorders can undergo tonsillectomy safely.

    Area of Science:

    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Hematology
    • Surgical Complications

    Context:

    • Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage is a significant clinical concern.
    • Ruling out major vessel injury necessitates considering hemostatic disturbances.
    • Subtle bleeding disorders like thrombopathies and hyperfibrinolysis are often undetected by routine screening.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the role of discrete hemostatic disturbances in post-tonsillectomy bleeding.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of tonsillectomy in patients with previously undetected bleeding disorders.

    Summary:

    • Bleeding after tonsillectomy, when not caused by major vessel injury, often stems from mild thrombopathies or increased fibrinolysis.
    • These conditions may not be apparent through standard tests or patient history.
    • Modern management, including accurate coagulograms and factor concentrate substitution, mitigates the risk.

    Impact:

    • Enables safe tonsillectomy for patients with underlying bleeding diatheses.
    • Reduces the incidence of severe post-tonsillectomy hemorrhages.
    • Advances the understanding and management of hemostasis in surgical patients.
