[Relationship between weight and tonsillectomy].
1,074 children, aged 11 and 14 years, have been examined. Their height and weight was measured, the %BMI was calculated, and the authors have known about performance of tonsillectomy in the past, in each schoolchild. It was found a significant relationship between tonsillectomy and overweight only in the male aged 14 years. A probability that stress after surgery leads to overweight is discussed.
