Implication

This prospective study compares pain and bleeding outcomes in pediatric tonsillectomy methods, suggesting cold dissection with ligation offers analgesic benefits.

Key Points

Cold dissection with ligation significantly reduced postoperative pain compared to other techniques.
Secondary bleeding occurred in only 2.7% of cases, showing no significant differences across techniques.
Operative time was shortest for hot dissection, averaging 17.53 minutes, while cold dissection with suturing took the longest.
Choosing the right technique can improve comfort and reduce complications in pediatric tonsillectomy patients.
