Abstract：
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are among the most commonly performed major pediatric operations in the United States, with more than 500,000 procedures performed annually. This procedure can be performed with or without adenoidectomy. These procedures were traditionally performed for recurrent tonsillitis; however, the vast majority of tonsillectomies are currently performed for obstructive symptoms. When performed for appropriate indications, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy can greatly improve a child\'s quality of life and general health. Given the prevalence of these conditions and subsequent surgical procedures, evidence-based recommendations are regularly evaluated and updated. As such, familiarity with these guidelines is necessary for pediatric practitioners. This review summarizes the indications, complications, and outcomes for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, as well as provides a brief overview of operative techniques.
摘要：
扁桃体切除术和腺样体切除术是美国最常见的主要儿科手术之一。每年执行超过500,000个程序。该程序可以在有或没有腺样体切除术的情况下进行。传统上，这些手术是针对复发性扁桃体炎进行的；然而，目前，绝大多数扁桃体切除术是针对阻塞性症状进行的。当进行适当的适应症时，扁桃体切除术和腺样体切除术可以大大改善儿童的生活质量和总体健康。鉴于这些疾病的普遍性和随后的外科手术，定期评估和更新循证建议.因此，熟悉这些指南对于儿科从业者是必要的。这篇综述总结了这些适应症，并发症,扁桃体切除术和腺样体切除术的结果，并简要概述了手术技术。
