ABSTRACT
Based on our own material containing 78 patients after heart transplantation the analysis of the most common laryngological diseases in postoperative period was performed. The attention was paid on the character, location of the diseases and the time of appearance after operation. The effort to find the correlation between kind and dose immunosuppression and frequency of infections was made. The necessity of careful and permanent laryngological control of patients after heart transplantation was emphasized due to the serious complications avoidance.

The examinations were performed before and one month after adenoidectomy Comparison of the obtained results did not show significant changes in gasometric results due to operation. No correlation also was shown between the weight of the adenoid and changes in gasometric parameters after operation. In all children the improvement in clinical stage after operation was observed. Based on obtained results it seems that about nasopharyngeal obstruction in children with enlarged adenoid decides not its weight (size) only but the ratio between its size and nasopharyngeal capacity.
