Summary

This is a children's study evaluating the effects of a tonsillectomy with tonsillar fossae closure compared to without closure of the operative wound.

Conditions

  • Tonsillectomy
  • Children

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Closure of the Tonsillar Fossa

We hypothesize that closure of the tonsillar fossa decreases the morbidity of pain by decreasing exposure of the raw operative bed to oral secretions, mediation, and oral intake, and decreases the morbidity of post-operative hemorrhage by having the operative wound closed.

PROCEDURE

Tonsillectomy with open fossa

SOP for a tonsillectomy.
