扁桃体摘除手术有风险
Healthy children younger than 3 who have had their tonsils removed may have a greater risk for complications than older children, according to a study. In the United States, tonsillectomy is the second most common pediatric surgery performed. Researchers examined the medical data for 1,817 children ages 3 to 6 who underwent a tonsillectomy between 2005 and 2015 at five centers in New Orleans.
Among children younger than 3 years old, 7 percent developed complications, including 25 percent of them within 24 hours after surgery.
一项研究显示，接受过扁桃体摘除手术的三岁以下健康儿童比其他大龄儿童患上合并症的风险更大。在美国，扁桃腺切除术是第二种常做的小儿外科手术。研究人员对2005年到2015年间，在新奥尔良五大中心接受过扁桃腺切除术的1817名三至六岁儿童的医疗数据进行检查。在三岁以下儿童中，7%的儿童患上合并症，其中25%的儿童在术后24小时内发病。
