Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Context:

  • Adenotonsillectomy is a frequently performed surgical procedure.
  • Evaluating the safety and efficacy of outpatient vs. inpatient surgical settings.

Purpose:

  • To assess the safety and complication rates of outpatient adenotonsillectomy.
  • To compare outpatient outcomes with historical inpatient data.

Summary:

  • A study of 365 patients undergoing outpatient adenotonsillectomy during the 1993-1994 school year.
  • Reported a low complication rate of 1.2% for outpatient procedures.
  • Complication rates were similar to those observed in the inpatient setting (2%) during 1992-1993.

Impact:

  • Supports the safe and cost-effective use of outpatient settings for carefully selected adenotonsillectomy candidates.
