Sponsor's own description

Adenotomy, together with tonsillectomy, belongs among the most frequently performed surgical procedures in paediatric patients. These surgical procedures are associated with the second highest incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (following strabism correction surgery) in paediatric surgery. PONV is associated, apart from the discomfort for the child, with a number of complications: dehydration, metabolic disruption or danger of haemorrhage and aspiration of the gastric content. Adenotomy is a typologically completely different surgical procedure, with a different target structure of the surgery, and the length and invasiveness of the procedure. Thus, it is possible to expect a difference in PONV incidence when compared to tonsillectomy. Adenotomy is a surgical procedure performed namely in children of the pre-school age. This is associated, among others, also with the problem of objectivization of post-operative nausea, which is very difficult to verbalize in small children, being a subjective feeling of body discomfort. It is possible to expect that the overall incidence of PONV will be significantly underestimated.
