Abstract
Background: Adenotonsillar surgery, a common surgical procedure, has been generally considered safe with minimal complications. The aim of this study was to investigate and elucidate uncommon complications observed post-adenotonsillar surgeries at a tertiary care center, aiming to enhance current clinical understanding.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 200 patients who underwent adenotonsillar surgeries from January 2020 to December 2021. Ten patients presenting with unusual postoperative complications were assessed. Data encompassing demographics, co-morbidities, presentation, diagnosis timeline, interventions, and management were collected.
Results: Of the analyzed cohort, 5% (n=10) manifested unusual complications. Complications were evenly distributed across genders, with Velopharyngeal Insufficiency (VPI) marginally more prevalent in females. Down Syndrome was identified as a significant co-morbidity for Atlanto-axial Subluxation. Age was a determining factor for complications, with Atlanto-axial Subluxation more common in younger patients and Eagle's Syndrome in adults. Management varied from conservative to surgical interventions.
Conclusion: Adenotonsillar surgeries, while routinely performed, can lead to unusual complications. Clinicians need to be observant post-operatively, ensuring comprehensive patient monitoring and communication. This case series contributes to the existing body of knowledge, promoting informed clinical decision-making.
