Summary

Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical performed procedures in children. Adenotonsillectomy surgery in pediatrics is commonly managed as an ambulatory surgery. This may be attributed to the use of the electro-dissection surgical technique that decreases the incidence of immediate postoperative hemorrhage. However, the use of the electro-cautery technique increases postoperative inflammation. Postoperative throat pain is a very important and significant problem because it can lead to decreased oral intake and dehydration with subsequent serious complications of dehydration.
