Intracapsular Tonsillectomy

Objectives There is little research on the rate and risk factors for revision tonsillectomy after primary intracapsular tonsillectomy. Our study aimed to determine the revision rate following intracapsular tonsillectomy, identify patient characteristics that may increase the probability of revision surgery, and report the tonsillar hemorrhage rate after revision. Study Design Level III, retrospective case-control study. Setting A tertiary care pediatric center (Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, Delaware). Methods A case-control study of pediatric patients who underwent intracapsular tonsillectomy between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2018, was performed. Patients aged 2 to 20 years were analyzed and compared with matched controls who underwent intracapsular tonsillectomy within 7 days of the same surgeon’s case. In total, 169 revision procedures were included with 169 matched controls. Results A 1.39% revision rate was observed among a total of 12,145 intracapsular tonsillectomies. Among the 169 patients who underwent a revision procedure, the mean time between cases was 3.5 years. Tonsillitis was the most common diagnosis prompting revision tonsillectomy. Four (2.4%) patients underwent operative control of a postoperative tonsillar hemorrhage after revision surgery. Younger patients ( P < .001) and patients with a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease ( P = .006) were more likely to undergo revision tonsillectomy. Conclusion Patients below age 4 years and patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease may be at increased risk of undergoing revision tonsillectomy after primary intracapsular tonsillectomy. These factors should be considered when selecting an intracapsular technique for primary tonsillectomy in pediatric patients.
