Here is shown that, even though tonsillectomy is the most frequently performed operation in ORL, it may sometimes cause severe hemorrhaging that could imperil the patient's life if not rapidly and competently dealt with. Tonsil hemorrhaging is favoured by the anatomical situating, tonsils being greatly vascularized, as well as by the specific of the pharyngeal wounds. There are discussed here the cases in the Bistriţa ORL Clinic between 1981-1987.
