Abstract

Objectives: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) is a common condition in children, often leading to obstructive sleep apnea and other complications. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of adenotonsillectomy on various blood parameters in children with ATH. Materials and Methods: Medical records of 84 children diagnosed with ATH and/or chronic tonsillitis, who underwent adenotonsillectomy, were reviewed. Key parameters analyzed included white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin (Hgb) levels, mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW). Blood samples were collected preoperatively, and at postoperative day 1, week 1, and month 3, and results were compared. Results: A significant decrease in MPV, PDW, and Hgb levels was observed immediately postoperatively. Interestingly, Hgb levels significantly increased three months post-surgery, returning to or surpassing preoperative levels. Although platelet counts remained unchanged, the temporary reduction in RBC count, Hgb, and Hct levels suggests a physiological response to surgical blood loss and trauma. These parameters normalized within three months, reflecting the body’s effective compensatory mechanisms. Conclusion: Adenotonsillectomy significantly impacts certain blood parameters in the short term, with most values normalizing by the three-month follow-up. These findings emphasize the importance of monitoring hematologic changes postoperatively and suggest that adenotonsillectomy, while causing temporary alterations in blood parameters, is ultimately a safe and effective procedure for managing ATH in children.

Özet

Amaçlar: Adenotonsiller hipertrofi (ATH), çocuklarda sık görülen bir durumdur ve sıklıkla obstrüktif uyku apnesi ve diğer komplikasyonlara yol açar. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ATH'li çocuklarda adenotonsillektominin çeşitli kan parametreleri üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmektir. Materyaller ve Yöntemler: ATH ve/veya kronik tonsillit tanısı konulan ve adenotonsillektomi geçiren 84 çocuğun tıbbi kayıtları incelendi. Analiz edilen temel parametreler arasında beyaz kan hücresi sayısı (WBC), trombosit sayısı (PLT), hemoglobin (Hgb) seviyeleri, ortalama trombosit hacmi (MPV) ve trombosit dağılım genişliği (PDW) yer aldı. Kan örnekleri ameliyattan önce ve ameliyattan sonraki 1. gün, 1. hafta ve 3. ayda toplandı ve sonuçlar karşılaştırıldı. Sonuçlar: MPV, PDW ve Hgb seviyelerinde ameliyattan hemen sonra önemli bir azalma gözlendi. İlginç bir şekilde, Hgb seviyeleri ameliyattan üç ay sonra önemli ölçüde artarak ameliyat öncesi seviyelere geri döndü veya onları geçti. Trombosit sayıları değişmeden kalsa da, RBC sayısı, Hgb ve Hct düzeylerindeki geçici azalma, cerrahi kan kaybına ve travmaya karşı fizyolojik bir tepki olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Bu parametreler, vücudun etkili telafi edici mekanizmalarını yansıtarak üç ay içinde normale dönmüştür. Sonuç: Adenotonsillektomi, kısa vadede belirli kan parametrelerini önemli ölçüde etkiler ve çoğu değer üç aylık takipte normale döner. Bu bulgular, hematolojik değişikliklerin ameliyattan sonra izlenmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır ve adenotonsillektominin, kan parametrelerinde geçici değişikliklere neden olsa da, çocuklarda ATH'yi yönetmek için nihayetinde güvenli ve etkili bir prosedür olduğunu düşündürmektedir.
