Abstract:
Tonsillectomy is the most commonly performed operation in otolaryngology practice. In order to assess outcome and improve quality of care, 65 patients were asked to answer a post-operative questionnaire. The questionnaire was then audited and patient management changed. Following this, another group of 65 patients revealed, in the same questionnaire, a significant improvement in care.
