The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 08/19/09
Low T–H et al. – Adult patients, paediatric patients' parents, general practitioners and ENT surgeons all ranked bleeding as the most important factor when assessing risks related to tonsillectomy. Most adult patients indicated that they would accept a bleeding risk of 2 per cent; however, parents indicated that they would accept a higher bleeding risk (3 per cent) for their children in exchange for better pain control. Adult patients, paediatric patients' parents and doctors were slightly more inclined to ‘trade–off’ an increased post–tonsillectomy bleeding risk in exchange for better post–tonsillectomy pain control, although concerns about post–operative haemorrhage remained the main priority for all groups.
