Purpose: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) that causes upper airway obstruction might lead to chronic hypoxemic pulmonary vasoconstriction and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. We aimed to evaluate whether adenotonsillectomy (T&A) in children suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to severe ATH could improve RV function. Methods: Thirty-seven children (boy:girl=21:16; mean age, 9.52±2.20 years), who underwent T&A forsleep apnea due to ATH, were...

Treatment of OSA in children should include providing space, improving craniofacial growth, resolving all symptoms, and preventing the development of the disease in the adult years. Adenotonsillectomy (T&A) has been the treatment of choice and thought to solve young patient's OSA...

Clinical observations were made on the 1,040 cases of tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy and the medical records of 628 patients among 1,040 cases admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology, National Medical Center, Seoul from January 1971 to December 1980 for tonsillectomy and actenoidectomy. The following results were obtained. 1) The total number of tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy increased to 2. 6 times during the ten year period. The proportion...
