Post-Tonsillectomy BleedingNCT07763704
The Impact of Tonsillectomy Techniques on Secondary Tonsillectomy Bleeding
An observational study of Post-Tonsillectomy Bleeding, run by Assiut University.
Trial summary
Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) is one of the most common and potentially life-threatening complications of tonsillectomy. Secondary PTH (Bleeding occurring >24 hours post-operatively) is of particular clinical significance. Tonsillectomy is a frequently performed procedure at Assiut University Hospital (AUH).

About this study
Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) is one of the most common and potentially life-threatening complications of tonsillectomy.
- Secondary PTH (Bleeding occurring >24 hours post-operatively) is of particular clinical significance.
- Tonsillectomy is a frequently performed procedure at Assiut University Hospital (AUH).
- However, no local prospective data exists comparing secondary PTH rates across techniques, or systematically characterizing its causes.
- This study addresses this gap by comparing rates, and analysis of causes.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
secondary post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (time frame: 10 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Aug 2026.
