Abstract
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.
