The records of 1088 consecutive adenotonsillectomy patients at Butterworth Hospital's Same Day Stay Department were reviewed. Of 1088 patients, 1082 were discharged the same day. Only one of the 1082 discharged patients had a significant bleeding complication during the first postoperative night, and no patient had vomiting or dehydration problems. With the special combined efforts of the otolaryngologist, the anesthesiologist, the nurses, and the hospital administration, same-day-stay adenotonsillectomy is a justifiable and cost-effective procedure.
对巴特沃思医院当日留观部1088例连续接受腺样体扁桃体切除术患者的记录进行了回顾。在1088例患者中，1082例于当日出院。1082例出院患者中只有1例在术后第一晚出现严重出血并发症，且没有患者出现呕吐或脱水问题。在耳鼻喉科医生、麻醉师、护士和医院管理部门的共同努力下，当日留观腺样体扁桃体切除术是一种合理且具有成本效益的手术。
