background a few studies are available actually comparing the clinical efficacy of intravenous acetaminophen with other medications such as dexamethasone to inhibit postoperative adverse events in children. objectives this randomized blinded controlled trial was designed to compare controlling status of postoperative events in children after tonsillectomy randomized to receive either intravenou...

To compare postoperative self-reported recovery results with monopolar tonsillotomy and cold dissection tonsillectomy in children. evaluate the feasibility of technique tonsillotomy. Children <12 years undergoing or between April 2018 March 2020 who (with a caregiver) were willing to participate two-week follow-up formed study group. They filled questionnaire about pain-related outcomes, return...

Aim of this study was to compare post-operative recovery over 14 days in children submitted to tonsillectomy using a bipolar radiofrequency-based plasma device (Coblation, Evac 70, ArthroCare Corp, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) to cold dissection. Paediatric patients (n = 42) aged 5-16 years old with chronic tonsillitis underwent tonsillectomy using cold dissection with suture ligatures or a plasma devic...

Background: Post-operative tonsillectomy pain is widely observed especially among children which leads to longer hospitalization, slower recovery, eating disorder and continuation of IV fluids ingestion. Objective: To compare mean scores between intravenous versus rectal acetaminophen in undergoing tonsillectomy. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial Place Duration Study: Department Anesthe...

Standard or extracapsular tonsillectomy, which is typically performed under general anesthesia, involves surgically removing the palatine tonsil and capsule, and then sealing bleeding vessels (hemostasis) with ligatures (ties), sutures, or heat (diathermy). In Canada, tonsillectomy is usually performed as day surgery. The most common side effects are pain and bleeding (hemorrhage), but patients...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety, morbidity, and efficacy of radiofrequency tissue volume reduction of tonsils using two different surgical techniques and to compare these two techniques with each other and with classic tonsillectomy. STUDY DESIGN A nonrandomized retrospective review of tonsil reductions was made between 2000 and 2002 using in vivo studies associated with tonsil reduction an...

Most tonsillectomies are carried out by dissection. Only a small minority of otolaryngologistsstill routinely perform guillotine tonsillectomy. We carried out a prospective study on 86children undergoing tonsillectomy utilising a standard anaesthetic and analgesic regimen tocompare post-operative pain after dissection tonsillectomy and guillotine tonsillectomy using aPopper'...
