The Impact of Tonsillectomy Techniques on Secondary Tonsillectomy Bleeding

Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) is one of the most common and potentially life-threatening complications of tonsillectomy. * Secondary PTH (Bleeding occurring \>24 hours post-operatively) is of particular clinical significance. * Tonsillectomy is a frequently performed procedure at Assiut University Hospital (AUH). * However, no local prospective data exists comparing secondary PTH rates across techniques, or systematically characterizing its causes. * This study addresses this gap by comparing rates, and analysis of causes.
