Of the cases the mean age, duration of surgery and surgical intervention results were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients included in the study was 4.82±3.18 years. The mean procedure time was calculated as 11.74±2.04 minutes. Complications were observed in 20 (0.39%) patients due to anesthesia and 39 (0.78%) patients due to surgical intervention. No complications that could cause mortality or morbidity were encountered. No patient underwent a second surgical intervention due to complications.
