Abstract
This paper compares the incidence of secondary haemorrhage in post-tonsillectomy patients who were discharged 48 hours after operation (2.8%) with those discharged at 24 hours (3%). There was no significant difference between the groups. A higher incidence of secondary haemorrhage in those patients in whom diathermy was used for haemostasis rather than ligatures (P less than 0.01) supports previous studies.
