RESUMEN
A fin de evaluar posibles cambios de tendencia en los factores epidemiológicos de la cirugía adeno-amigdalar, se revisan 1958 intervenciones realizadas entre los años 1992 y 2002.

RESULTADOS:

se extirparon 1/3 de anginas frente a 2/3 de vegetaciones adenoideas mediante 3 procedimientos 59% de adenoidectomías, 28% de adeno-amigdalectomías y 13% de amigdalectomías. Durante el período de estudio se ha ido reduciendo el porcentaje de adeno-amigdalectomías, aumentando el de adenoidectomías. En general es una cirugía que predomina en varones.

Aunque no hemos detectado variaciones en cuanto al sexo y edad media de realización, en esta revisión comprobamos que la cirugía adeno-amigdalar ha ido en aumento a lo largo de estos años modificándose la relación porcentual de los distintos procedimientos, creemos que como resultado de nuevas indicaciones
ABSTRACT
In order to evaluate possible trend changes in the epidemiological factors of adenotonsillar surgery, a total of 1,958 operations performed between 1992 and 2002 were reviewed.

Results:

One third of the operations were to remove tonsils in comparison with the two thirds that were to remove adenoids. Three procedures were used 59% adenoidectomies, 28% adenotonsillectomies and 13% tonsillectomies. During the study period, the percentage of adenotonsillectomies decreased, where as the number of adenoidectomies increased. In general, this kind of surgery is mainly performed on males. Conclusions. Although we have not discovered variations regarding gender and average age for the operations, adenotonsillar surgery has increased over recent years and the percentage ratio of the various procedures has altered as a result of new indications
