The Relationship Between Prolonged Hospitalization and Surgical Experience in Pediatric Tonsillectomy Cases.

May 1, 2024 updated by: Fazıl Necdet Ardıç, Pamukkale University

Pediatric Tonsillectomy: Surgical Experience And Prolonged Hospitalization

Guided by the expertise of a seasoned surgeon at the tertiary care hospital, the training program includes performing tonsillectomy starting from the 6th month. The clinical protocol at the hospital dictates a standard one-night hospital stay for all patients, but there is potential to extend the duration in specific cases. The study endeavors to explore the correlation between extended hospitalization, surgical proficiency, patient-specific factors, and postoperative complications in pediatric patients who underwent tonsillectomy and/or adenotonsillectomy at the clinic.
