MOTT ENT Post-op Tonsillectomy

Tonsillectomy recovery tool

Free · Designed for iPad

Tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy is the most common surgery performed for children in the United States. This entails removal of the tonsils with or without the adenoid tissue to address sleep disturbances or recurrent infections. This application provides the same post-operative guidelines as received in the University of Michigan Mott Otolaryngology clinic to assist caregivers with post-operative pain management and recovery. Common concerns following this procedure include pain control, diet, dehydration, bleeding, and fevers; these issues often result in significant caregiver stress and increased care utilization with trips to the emergency room and frequent provider phone calls. This application offers anticipatory guidance regarding these common postoperative concerns and provides personalized pain management regimens for each patient. It also provides easy access to clinic contact information, and additional references to help decide whether to present to hospital for additional monitoring.
