ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to review the changing trends in Adenotonsillectomies performed in San Pablo Medical Center during the last ten years. We have reviewed using a 25 variable questionnaire all patients undergoing this surgical procedure during the first six months in 1983 and compared the information with the patients having this procedure during the first six months of 1993. We conclude that the number of interventions, the indications, prior medical history and cost effects have changed substantially. Our data supports the accuracy of some of the trends being reported in the literature regarding this surgical intervention
