dc.description.abstractObjectivesTo assess postoperative pain and pattern of recovery to normal diet in children who underwent tonsillectomy. MethodsCold steel tonsillectomy (or adenotonsillectomy) was performed in 61 children. Haemostasis was attained with sutures in Group 1 (n = 30, 8 tonsillectomy and 22 adenotonsillectomy), and electrocautery in Group 2 (n = 31, 6 tonsillectomy and 25 adenotonsillectomy). Information obtained included postoperative pain scores and the number of postoperative days taken to resume normal diet. The pain score was evaluated with the Wong-Baker FACES((R)) Pain Rating Scale (WBFS). ResultsPain values in Group 1 (haemostasis with sutures) were significantly lower than those in Group 2 (haemostasis with cauterisation) from the 6th hour to the 7th postoperative day (P < .05). For both liquid and solid food, Group 1 returned to normal diet earlier, compared to Group 2 (P < .05). When comparing patients undergoing tonsillectomy vs adenotonsillectomy, resumption of normal diet was achieved later in the adenotonsillectomy patients (P < .05). In terms of postoperative bleeding, there were 2 significant events in Group 2 (electrocautery group), occurring on the 1st (severe) and 10th day (slight) in 2 children (6.5%). There were no postoperative bleeding events in Group 1. ConclusionOur results showed that suture haemostatis causes less pain and faster resumption of normal diet compared to electrocautery. In view of this, we recommend the use of sutures for achieving intraoperative haemostasis in paediatric patients.en_US
