[quote=Anonymous]Tonsillectomy is a low risk surgery for most children I was told - unless an MD has flagged it as higher risk. In the normal case, I was told the main risk is the anesthesia ( only because kids have lower weight, so more important to be precise with anesthetic dosages ). To address that, make sure an experienced MD pediatric anesthesiologist (i.e., not a NP or RN anesthetist) is being used for the surgery. Again, this advice is what I am told is common practice, but it might be reassuring to parents hear that from your MD in advance. ** Note well, I am not an MD or an expert, I am just repeating what I was told…** I would do the surgery if it were my kid.
