Tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedure in otolaryngology. Bleeding after this operation is a serious complication that can require urgent admission to hospital. This post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage risk calculator is provided for healthcare professionals and patients to estimate their risk of a bleed based on the results of a research publication authored by Dr Jon Li.
The tool is for general information only.
