Abstract:
Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome is a common respiratory tract obstructive disease in children, which often affects children's mental and physical development. For repeated tonsil inflammation and nocturnal sleep apnea in children with OSAHS, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy is the most effective treatment. But children's postoperative immune function remain in dispute, this review focuses on immunologic function change and influence in the OSAHS children after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, according to the existing research results can be confirmed. The immune parameters in OSAHS children who had tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy will vary differently after a short period of several, considering these manifestations are the stress response after operation, and its long-term immune parameters can recover to the normal level. Thus, the postoperative immune function of OSAHS with tonsillitis in children after the adenoid and tonsil resection has no negative effects, providing theory basis for clinician's treatment for clinicians to parents of children with answers to questions provide the theory basis.
