Tonsillectomy in children and in adults : changes in practice following the opening of a day-surgery unit with dedicated operating room

OBJECTIVES: To study the impact of the opening of a day-surgery unit on the practice of tonsillectomy in adults and children in the light of the experience of our department, and to compare complications between day-surgery and conventional admission.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of all tonsillectomies performed since the opening of a dedicated day-surgery room, using the ENT and emergency department data-bases.
RESULTS: Between October 2013 and December 2014, 179 tonsillectomies were performed (51 in adults, 128 in children), including 108 day-surgeries. Between 2012 and 2014, the number of tonsillectomies increased by 12.7%, with an 18.27% increase in children and stable adult rate. Within 1 year, day-surgery became predominant for children (73.19%) and equaled conventional admission for adults (47.22%). For almost all patients without same-day discharge, the reasons were organizational or due to malorientation (comorbidity, or unsuitable home environment). Day-case tonsillectomy in children showed a 30-day complications rate comparable to those reported in the literature (8.3% postoperative hemorrhage), with a higher rate in adults (35.3%). Onset of complications was at a mean 6 days in adults and 9 days in children; only 2 patients developed complications between 6 and 24hours postoperatively.
CONCLUSION: The present study showed that opening a day-surgery unit led to changes in practice, with most tonsillectomies now performed on an outpatient basis, without increased complications, and notably immediate complications. Outpatient tonsillectomy thus seems to be a solution of choice compared to conventional admission, in terms of cost saving and of patient comfort, without sacrificing safety. The dedicated operating room facilitates scheduling and thereby increasing turnover by reducing wait time.
