In Group R 0.5%Ropivacaine with 1:100000 Adrenaline C 0.9%normal saline was injected tonsillar fossa tonsillectomy. Surgery duration, blood loss, time demand for 1st analgesia, analgesic consumption 24 hours, VAS score 1hr, 2hr, 4hr, 6hr, 12hr, 24hr noted. Results: We observed significant during first 4 post-operative hours Value <0.01, <0.01 0.019 respectively first, second fourth score. also difference analgesia request groups group requesting at 518±175 minutes 132±47.95 (P value <0.01). Total requirement 61±22.48 102±27.84 < 0.01). Conclusions: It is concluded that intraoperative causes decrease hours. therefore recommended use it patient undergoing Tonsillectomy.
