About

Tonsillectomy is a frequent surgical procedure in the ENT specialty but it can be a source of postoperative pain that can be important. These pains complicate the intake of food and in particular the intake of analgesic drugs per os and require the prolongation of the hospitalization in order to continue an intravenous analgesia. The aim is to set up a protocol for ambulatory care of adult tonsillectomies. Then, it would allow an improvement of the postoperative quality of life for the patient, who prefers a quicker return home.The study aims to allow patients to come back home early after tonsillectomies with intravenous analgesia. Pain, feeding and quality of life will be evaluated regularly through an application called MAELA during a few days after surgery. They will also be evaluated by nurses coming via providers.
