Adenotonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure. For many patients, outpatient adenotonsillectomy is safe and cost-effective. During the 1993-1994 school year, 365 patients were operated. Complications (1.2%) were minimal and similar to those occurring in inpatients (2%) in the same 1992-1993 period. We believe that surgery of the tonsils, adenoids and myringotomy can be performed safely as an outpatient procedure if the candidates for ambulatory surgery are carefully selected by the surgeon.
