Abstract
Adenotonsillectomy (T&A) is a common surgical procedure. Its frequency is highest in the paediatric age range and its most common current indication is obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Sleep studies are used to document the presence and severity of OSA. This review will focus on indications for and complications of T&A in the context of the age range and setting where this surgery is undertaken for OSA in children.Entities:
