An Approach to Reduce Uvula Edema After Tonsillectomy

Summary

A prospective randomized clinical trial that included thirty subjects who underwent tonsillectomy. The patients in Group 1 (n:15) were injected with dexamethasone (1 ml, 8 mg) through the uvula and soft palate tissue directly before tonsillectomy. Group 2 (n:15) patients had tonsillectomy without dexamethasone injection. Patients were examined preoperatively and postoperative on the first and fifth days. In this study investigators tried an approach of dexamethasone application to reduce uvula edema after tonsillectomy.
