Abstract
Pathologic disturbances in breathing in children become clinically apparent in the syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea. The surgical approach to this syndrome is often removal of hypertrophied tonsils and adenoids. The preoperative, operative, and postoperative concerns with special attention to the role of anesthesia are reviewed.
