One hundred seventy\u2010two cases were included in the analysis. The annual surgery rates between the years 2000 and 2018 were acquired from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>During the years 2000 to 2018, a total of 292,679 patients had tonsil and\/or adenoid surgery nationwide. For tonsil or adenoid surgeries, the national average was 5.3 cases and 1.8 cases per 10,000, respectively, resulting in patient injury claims and compensations. A total of 33.1% of the claims regarding tonsil or adenoid surgery processed by the PIC were compensated. Most of the claims were made after a tonsillectomy (87.8%), and few were made after a tonsillotomy (1.7%). Seven deaths were recorded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patient injuries from tonsil and adenoid surgeries were mostly related to traditional extracapsular tonsillectomies. Most surgeries, along with most complications, involved specialists, who performed routine operations in high\u2010volume centers. Surgeries for acute or recurrent infections resulted in more claims. Severe complications arising from tonsil and adenoid surgeries were rare.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>4.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/lio2.954","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,1]],"date-time":"2022-11-01T12:04:44Z","timestamp":1667304284000},"page":"1773-1779","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Patient injuries from tonsil and adenoid surgery in Finland"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6582-7699","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henrik M.","family":"Sj\u00f6blom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Surgery and Cancer Diseases, Department of Otorhinolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery Turku University Hospital  Turku Finland"},{"name":"Department of Medicine University of Turku  Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7573-4274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaakko M.","family":"Timgren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine University of Turku  Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9788-8904","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaakko M.","family":"Piitulainen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Surgery and Cancer Diseases, Department of Otorhinolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery Turku University Hospital  Turku Finland"},{"name":"Department of Medicine University of Turku  Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1945-4008","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jussi","family":"Jero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200408000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/coa.12396"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2019.02.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00016489.2017.1375153"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.23872"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","unstructured":"Finnish patient insurance center [Internet].2020.https:\/\/www.pvk.fi\/en\/"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MLG.0b013e31805559e1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-5876(99)00274-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/mlg.0b013e318030ca69"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.22179"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.28435"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00016489.2017.1412500"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-015-3871-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.133.9.925"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.22347"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016489.2012.723825"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","unstructured":"Official Statistics of Finland (OSF).Population Structure [Internet].
