  • Title: Outpatient management of T and A procedure in children.
    Author: Lee IN.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1985 Jun; 14(3):176-8. PubMed ID: 4068114.
    Abstract:
    Present financial constraints make outpatient (day) surgery--provided it is proven to be safe--an attractive option for patients and surgeons as well as hospitals. The author had noticed some reluctance among surgeons at previous meetings to consider doing children's T and A surgery in this manner. Based on more than 3,000 cases, over a four year period, the safety of the procedure is shown. It is hoped that the 0% re-admission rate for primary hemorrhage will encourage those who have not so far felt comfortable with this method.
