Abstract
A controlled prospective study was performed on 429 consecutive childr en undergoing adenoidectomy, of which 263 were day-cases. Adenoidectom y was done alone, or in combination with other minor procedures. There was only one reactionary haemorrhage in each group, and these were ea rly and easily recognized by the recovery staff. No other significant complication was seen. Adenoidectomy in children as a day-case procedu re is safe and cost-effective.
