Analysis of risk factors for re-operation due to postoperative haemorrhage following coblation-assisted tonsillectomy

Abstract

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for re-operation due to postoperative haemorrhage following coblation-assisted tonsillectomy. Methods:The clinical data of 135 patients with haemorrhage after coblation-assisted tonsillectomy in our hospital from January 2015 to May 2022 were collected, According to the patients received reoperation after tonsillectomy or not, all patients were divided into the reoperation group （n=43） and non-reoperation group （n=92）,clinical data were compared between the two groups. Results:Univariate analysis showed that there was no significant difference in gender, age, postoperative intravenous glucocorticoid use, diabetes and hypertension between the two groups（P>0.05）, Univariate and multivariate factor analyses showed that early haemorrhage, obvious hemorrhage points were independent risk factors for re-operation due to postoperative haemorrhage（P<0.05）. Conclusion:Early haemorrhage and obvious hemorrhage points are independent risk factors for re-operation due to postoperative haemorrhage following coblation-assisted tonsillectomy.
