[Pediatric tonsillectomy can be performed as day surgery].

In the spring of 1996, tonsillectomy, traditionally regarded as a procedure requiring hospitalization, began to be performed at the recently started day surgery unit at Danderyd Hospital. The article consists in a report of results obtained with a series comprising just over 200 children who were the first to undergo adenotonsillectomy in day surgery, and followed up, for instance, by questionnaire. There were no cases of complications requiring hospitalization during the first postoperative day. The parents were fairly satisfied with the care provided, though 25 per cent of them said that in the event of a new operation being necessary they would prefer that it be performed as an in-patient procedure.
