Abstract
Adenoidectomy in this country is typically performed as an in-patient procedure requiring an overnight stay in hospital but experience from other countries shows that adenoidectomy can be safely performed as a day case procedure. In Leicester, a prospective study of day case aden oidectomy was initiated in 1991 under carefully monitored conditions. We report on 721 patients entered in the first 3 years. We have so far found day case adenoidectomy to be a safe procedure.
