Area of Science:

Pediatric Surgery
Healthcare Management

Background:

Day-case tonsillectomy programs are increasingly adopted in pediatric care.
Assessing patient and guardian satisfaction is crucial for program evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate parent/guardian satisfaction with a new day-case tonsillectomy program at a tertiary pediatric center.
Identify areas for improvement in the program.

Main Methods:

Anonymous questionnaires were distributed to parents/guardians of patients undergoing day-case tonsillectomy.
Data collected from July 2018 to December 2020.

Main Results:

High satisfaction reported: 91.3% comfortable with home discharge, 92.4% would recommend.
10.9% of parents/guardians contacted healthcare services within 24 hours post-surgery.

Conclusions:

The day-case tonsillectomy program is safe and efficient, with high parent/guardian satisfaction.
Enhance discharge communication regarding follow-up and analgesia.
