Protocol summary

Summary
The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of bleeding requiring surgical intervention after adenotonsillectomy in two methods of hot dissection and cold dissection in 3-10 years old children. This study is a randomized, single-blind clinical trial that will be conducted in the ear, throat and nose ward of Khatam-Ol-Anbia Hospital of Zahedan. The study population included all 3-10 years old children who referred to the ENT clinic during the years of 2016-18 and are candidates for adenotonsillectomy. The inclusion criteria for entering the study include the absence of history of craniofacial surgery and other craniofacial diseases and craniofacial anomalies and the absence of coagulation disorders and immunodeficiency syndromes. Exclusion criteria include the use of anti-coagulant drugs and the lack of parental cooperation. The sample size is 60 person in each group. Patients are randomly divided into two groups, all patients undergo general anesthesia with the same protocol and adenotonsillectomy will be performed by one person in both groups. Adenotonsillectomy is performed in one of the groups by hot dissection and in other group by cold dissection method. After surgery, all patients will receive a same type of analgesic. Patients are then checked for variables such as the incidence of bleeding during the first 24 hours of the postoperative period or after 24 hours and the pain score 12 hours after the operation and one week after the operation and are registered in pre-prepared checklists.
