Comparing tonsillectomy methods and their effect on later bleeding
This study looks at people who have bleeding more than a day after having their tonsils removed. It compares three common surgical techniques to see if one has a lower risk of this late bleeding, which could help guide safer surgery in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your tonsils removed and then had bleeding that started more than 24 hours after the surgery.
- Your tonsillectomy was done using one of these methods: cold steel, bipolar diathermy, or coblation.
- You are any age (children and adults can join).
- You came to the Assiut University Hospital emergency room or ear, nose, and throat clinic with this bleeding.
- For patients under 18, a parent or guardian must agree, and the child must also agree to participate.

This study tests a medicine called tranexamic acid to help stop bleeding in children who had their tonsils removed and are now bleeding more than a day after surgery. Researchers want to see if this medicine can reduce the amount of bleeding and help children recover faster.
This study tests if a sprayed form of the medicine tranexamic acid (which helps blood clot) can stop bleeding after tonsillectomy in children. It is for children ages 2 to 17 who come to the emergency room with bleeding that starts more than a day after surgery.
This study looks at different ways to care for people after a tonsillectomy (surgery to remove the tonsils) to help them recover more comfortably. It may help reduce pain or other side effects after surgery.
This trial looks at how best to control pain for adults having tonsil removal (tonsillectomy) on an outpatient basis. It may help find a pain plan that works well and is safe for people like you.
This study compares coblation (a low-temperature method) and bipolar diathermy (a heat method) to stop stubborn nosebleeds in children. It aims to find which treatment works better and is safer.
This study follows patients aged 18–65 who are having their tonsils removed due to frequent or chronic throat infections. Researchers will track your recovery to understand healing patterns and improve post-surgery care.
