Tonsillitis Recurrent

To assess the use of Suprathel 250 for mucosal reconstruction in oropharyngeal defects. The membrane will be applied after tonsillectomy procedures and compared to bare wounds' healing

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of adding paracetamol to systemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) versus adding dexamethasone as local infiltration to paracetamol on post tonsillectomy pain control.

Background: recurrent acute tonsillitis (RT) is a frequent condition affecting teenagers and adults. Patients suffer from recurring throat symptoms, fever and impaired quality of life (QOL). Tonsillectomy (TE) is the only well-known treatment, but studies indicate that tonsillotomy (TO) is associated with less morbidity (eg. pain and bleeding) and equal efficiency (e.g. reduced number of sore throat episodes and improved QOL). The investigator aim to clarify whether TO is a non-inferior alternative to TE. Methods: inclusion and randomization of 250 adult RT patients for TE or TO with a 12 month follow up. Comparisons will be made between groups, and outcome measures includes number of sore throat episodes, QOL and postoperative pain. Discussion: the study has the potential to improve the treatment of a prevalent disease by enhancing knowledge of an alternative procedure (TO) associated with less discomfort and risk than the current standard procedure (TE) and a presumably low risk of insufficiency.
