Abstract

Introduction: TONSILLECTOMY is one of the most common procedures performed by Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeon. Usually, the procedure is carried out as an inpatient surgery. With the increasing need to reduce healthcare costs, spare precious hospital beds, and shorten elective surgery lists, there is currently a trend towards performing TONSILLECTOMY on a DAYCARE basis.Materials and Methods: A prospective review of all tonsillectomies performed at the University Malaya Medical Center was undertaken for the year 2013. Demographic details, qualifying indications, and complication rates were evaluated.Results: There was no incidence of primary HEMORRHAGE among the 96 tonsillectomies performed. There was no significant correlation in terms of secondary HEMORRHAGE between inpatient and day-case TONSILLECTOMY (P=0.54). Only two patients required revision surgery to stop TONSILLECTOMY BLEEDING/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank"> POST-TONSILLECTOMY BLEEDING. None of the patients required blood transfusion, and there were no mortalities.Conclusion: DAYCARE TONSILLECTOMY is safe as long as the patient is carefully selected. Both medical and social aspects should be taken into consideration. A post-operative observation period of at least 6 to 8 hours is important. The surgeon should personally review the patient post-operatively and decides if he or she should be hospitalized for observation, or safe for discharge.
