Post-adenotonsillectomy pharyngeal stenosis in children - a systematic review

Listen to this summary

This systematic review aims to characterize post-(adeno)tonsillectomy pharyngeal stenosis in children, a rare but significant complication that can lead to serious morbidity. The authors analyze patient and surgical characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes based on 26 studies involving 109 pediatric patients, highlighting the need for improved awareness and standardized reporting to enhance prevention and treatment. The findings indicate that while minimally invasive treatments often lead to recurrence, reconstructive techniques yield more durable results.
