Tonsillar Disorder

This is a prospective, observational study to determine the association between preoperative fasting duration and post-tonsillectomy pain scores in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) among pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy and/or tympanostomy tube placement. The primary outcome is the post-tonsillectomy pain score, with the secondary outcomes as total postoperative opioid consumption, PACU length of stay, and hospital length of stay.

No SFORL recommendation for adult ambulatory tonsillectomy. This study would allow the establishment of an ambulatory management during an adult tonsillectomy. This would allow a return home from J0 for the patient and therefore would improve the comfort of the patients and reduce the cost associated with a conventional hospitalization over several days.
