PROBLEM/OBJECTIVE: We compared the effects of preincisional peritonsillar infiltration of 5 ml @entity1343 (50 mg/10 ml) on bleeding during surgery and @entity158 after tonsillectomy in @entity1 aged 16 years or older. METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted in 44 adult @entity1 who underwent tonsillectomy. These @entity1 were randomized to either the study group (SG) who received @entity1343 infiltration to the peritonsillary fossae prior to surgery, or a control group (CG) treated with 0.9% @entity2827 infiltration to the peritonsillary fossae prior to incision. The volume of @entity954 was recorded. @entity158 was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The first @entity158 score was assessed immediately after arriving in the postoperative care unit. VAS scores were subsequently re-assessed 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. The first analgesic requirement was assessed 24 hours postoperatively. RESULTS: The @entity158 relieving effect in the @entity1343 group was statistically significant 2, 4, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively (p  <= 0.05), but there was no difference in VAS scores between groups at the first and 8-hour postoperative assessments. There were no differences between the two groups regarding analgesic requirements. The difference between the mean intraoperative @entity190 in the SG and CG was statistically significant (p  <= 0.05). No serious complications were observed in either group. CONCLUSION: Preincisional @entity1343 infiltration seems to be a safe and easily applied medication for @entity282 control, and decreased the volume of intraoperative @entity190 in adult @entity1 after tonsillectomy.
