A member asked:
Are there any risks to getting a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy at 22 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same overall risks: The most significant risks for this surgery are anesthesia-related and bleeding. Whether one is 5 or 25, the risks are similar. Postoperative bleeding is slightly higher in adults than in children. Postoperative pain is usually greater in adults leading to a longer period of recovery. Age.
