Description

Tonsillectomy is a common procedure with a wide range of described operative techniques and usage of perioperative medications. Single-dose intraoperative dexamethasone has been shown to decrease postoperative nausea and pain and improve return to normal diet. The aim was to determine if a course of oral postoperative steroids would further decrease postoperative morbidity following tonsillectomy in children.
