The overall complication rate for pediatric adenoidectomy was found to be low at just 2.6%.
Postoperative bleeding requiring re-surgery occurred in only 1.1% of cases, indicating high safety.
Children undergoing additional tonsillectomy faced significantly increased risks for bleeding complications.
Comorbid conditions and underweight status were identified as notable risk factors for complications.
