“…40 Currently guidelines used by clinicians to identify children who are appropriate candidates for AT have indications based primarily on obstructive and infectious causes. 41 Before 1995, the major indication for AT was recurrent tonsillitis, with OSA being a distant second. However, in the past 10 years the number of children referred for OSA-related AT surgery has increased markedly, reflecting an increased awareness and improved diagnosis of OSA by pediatricians and other primary care physicians.…”

“…An often proposed alternative hypothesis is that significant declines in recent years in the conduct of tonsillectomy could have led to rising incidence of tonsil cancers (7,8). Indeed, rates of tonsillectomy, a common surgical procedure involving the removal of a majority of the palatine tonsillar tissue (through extracapsular tonsillectomy or intracapsular tonsillotomy), have significantly declined since the 1950s in the United States and other developed countries (9,10). With changing rates of tonsillectomies, the clinical indications for tonsillectomy have also changed over time, with a shift over time from recurrent infections to airway obstruction (9)(10)(11).…”

“…2 Una serie de procedimientos quirúrgicos de otorrinolaringología: adenoamigdalectomía, drenaje endoscópico de senos paranasales y colocación de tubos timpánicos de ventilación, se indican en pacientes con infecciones respiratorias de repetición que no han respondido satisfactoriamente al manejo médico. 12 En series retrospectivas de pacientes adultos con rinosinusitis crónica refractaria se ha encontrado una prevalencia alarmantemente alta de deficiencias de anticuerpos. [13][14][15] En pacientes pediátricos y en otro tipo de cirugías de otorrinolaringología hay menos información.…”
