Abstract:

Objective     To explore the advantages of radiofrequency ablation tonsillotomy for child obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). Methods    The operation time, blood loss, post-operative pain, and the days in hospital in the radiofrequency ablation tonsillotomy group and the standard tonsillectomy group of OSAHS child patients with tonsils hypertrophy were evaluated. Results    The operation time, blood loss, postoperative pain, and the days in hospital were significantly less (P<0.001) in the radiofrequency ablation group than in the tonsillectomy group.  Conclusion    Radiofrequency ablation tonsillotomy is a viable method for tonsils hypertrophy.
