Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Postoperative wound healing measured by assessment of wound surface recovery in post-operational period to 12th post-operational day | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Intraoperative blood loss quantified by measuring suction bottle fluid and weight measurement of surgical sponges 2. Time taken for surgery will be measured from the beginning and finishing of each side tonsillectomy 3. Postoperative pain will be measured by a numerical rating scale from 0-10 at 2, 5, 7 and 10 post-operational days 4. Postoperative bleeding will be assessed by the effectiveness of management strategy (no therapy, clot suction, direct pressure or electrocautery) at 2, 5, 7 and 10 post-operational days 5.
