About this study

Official title: Pediatric Tonsillectomy: Surgical Experience And Prolonged Hospitalization

Guided by the expertise of a seasoned surgeon at the tertiary care hospital, the training program includes performing tonsillectomy starting from the 6th month. The clinical protocol at the hospital dictates a standard one-night hospital stay for all patients, but there is potential to extend the duration in specific cases. The study endeavors to explore the correlation between extended hospitalization, surgical proficiency, patient-specific factors, and postoperative complications in pediatric patients who underwent tonsillectomy and/or adenotonsillectomy at the clinic.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of hospitalization lasting more than 24 hours (time frame: december'23- january'24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
