Dependent factors in the adult patient and their relationship with post-tonsillectomy bleeding and pain in an outpatient setting.

Introduction And Objective: Tonsillectomy performed on an outpatient basis in adult patients presents bleeding and pain as main postoperative complications. Following rules such as cold surgical technique, analgesic protocols, preoperative interview, and postoperative follow-up help to better control the process. However, there are patient-dependent factors such as sex, age, indication for tonsillectomy and the time elapsed between the last tonsil infection and surgical intervention that can influence postoperative complications and should be considered.
