OBJECTIVE: We present our experience with daycare tonsillectomy and evaluate patient satisfaction and the post operative complication rate. METHODS: A prospective audit review of 38 patients from March 2009 till May 2010 was conducted in our ambulatory care center. RESULTS: There were 38 patients involved in this review. All patients were satisfied with our Ambulatory care services. No admission was reported after daycare tonsillectomy. CONCLUSION: Daycare tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy is safe. It can reduce the waiting time and also bed occupancy thus cost effective. Proper selection of patient is very important.
