摘要
Tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the field of otorhinolaryngology. The first tonsillectomy was done about 600 B.C. [3]. This operation is indicated for patients with recurrent tonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, hypertrophy or asymmetry of the tonsils. Even though a routine procedure, it has a relatively high risk of complications such as post operative hemorrhage, infection or impaired wound healing. The reported case involves a 20 year old female patient who developed velopharyngeal insufficiency as a result of impaired wound healing after tonsillectomy. The patient was treated conservatively and is free of discomfort after 2 months.
