Background and Objectives There have been several studies on the factors affecting posttonsillectomybleeding; however, investigations on the relationship between postoperativebleeding and diet are insufficient. Different countries have different types of food, and whilethere have been studies on the effects of diet in other countries, no such studies have been reportedin Korea. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between Korean diet andpostoperative bleeding after tonsillectomy.
Subjects and Method To compare the postoperative bleeding outcomes, patients who underwenttonsillectomy by a single surgeon between January 2017 and 2020 were divided intothose who had a diet restriction after surgery and those who had a free diet. Postoperativebleeding outcomes were divided according to the degree of intervention for hemostasis andcompared.
Results The study included 115 and 124 patients in the diet-restricted group and free-dietgroup, respectively. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms ofgender, age, presence of snoring and frequent tonsillitis, and surgical method. Bleeding occurredin four patients in the diet-restricted group and three patients in the free-diet group.
There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the frequency and severity ofpostoperative bleeding.
Conclusion Since dietary restriction after tonsillectomy was not helpful to prevent postoperativebleeding, a free and sufficient diet after surgery may prove to be better.
