All relevant published data by the Soroka University Medical Center and related community medical services were reviewed and compared to MEDLINE linked literature regarding aspects of childhood obstructive sleep apnea published through November 2005. Published data support a significant effect of adenotonsillectomy on the associated co morbidities: adenotonsillectomy resulted in the reduction of pulmonary hypertension, improved growth as a result of an increase in growth hormone secretion, improvement of neurocognitive function to the normal range, reduction in nocturnal enuresis, as well as reducing general morbidities, as reflected by the reduction in health care utilization. However, there are sti...
