Day surgery for adenotonsillectomy is safe and preferred by most patients. This approach improves patient comfort, sleep, and oral intake while enhancing healthcare efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Ambulatory Surgery

Context:

  • Adenotonsillectomy is a common procedure with significant postoperative morbidity.
  • Current trends favor day case surgery for adenotonsillectomy due to safety.
  • Patient acceptability of ambulatory surgery requires further evaluation.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate patient acceptability of ambulatory (day case) adenotonsillectomy.
  • To compare patient outcomes and preferences between inpatient and outpatient adenotonsillectomy.

Summary:

  • A prospective study compared 104 day surgery adenotonsillectomies with 88 inpatient cases.
  • Day surgery patients reported better sleep, oral intake, and less pain postoperatively.
  • 92% of patients preferred the day case procedure two weeks after surgery.
