Method: Between 2015 and 2019, the records of infants who underwent frenotomy in the Koç University Hospital Pediatric Surgery Clinic during the newborn period due to tongue-tie were examined retrospectively. The infants were evaluated in terms of clinical presentation, surgical indication technique, and outcomes. Results: During the four-year period, a total of 41 babies had undergone frenotomy for tongue-tie. The presenting complaints in decreasing frequency were the inability to take out tongue, difficulty in sucking the mother's breast, need for bottle-feeding, inability to maintain breastfeeding, need to support the baby's head from behind during the breastfeeding and having nipple pain. During the follow-up period, bleeding, hematoma, or infection was not observed in patients. None of the patients required re-intervention during follow-up. In 41 patients, there was a significant improvement in the sucking problem. In addition, nipple pain of 9 out of 11 mothers during breastfeeding resolved. Conclusion: Tongue-tie problem can be resolved in a safe, successful and easy way with the use of the frenotomy technique in infants with tongue-tie detected during physical examination who can not be breastfed even though they can be bottle-fed.AnkyloglossiaTongueBreast feedingReviewhttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85084667017&doi=10.5222%2fJTAPS.2019.89106&partnerID=40&md5=d0f026aa88c0add11cbef6036c6b0f586300
