A Comparison of Pain and Operation Time in Children Undergoing a Tonsillectomy using Different Energy Doses of Bipolar Cautery

Objective: The aim of the study is to compare operative time and degree post-operative pain in children who underwent a tonsillectomy using different energy doses bipolar cautery specify most appropriate dose. Materials Methods: Patients included were allocated three groups with 20 each group operation 20, 30 40 watt cautery. Operative was recorded for patient. Wong-Baker FACES rating Scale (WBS) used period patient severity patients evaluated at 30th min, 1st, 6th, 24th hours 10th day. times compared thereafter. Results: A significant difference not detected between which (p>0.05). regard scores hour day Conclusion: We have according dose no statistically tonsillectomies conducted doses. Therefore we consider that should be as low possible
