Practice, complications and outcome in Swedish tonsil surgery 2009-2018. An observational longitudinal national cohort study.
Conclusions and significance: All hot tonsillectomy techniques should be avoided as they are related to a higher risk for postoperative bleeding. The high rate of postoperative contacts due to pain after tonsillectomy indicates a need for improvement in pain management. The declining rates of symptom relief must be investigated further.
