Quality of Life Postchronic Tonsillitis Treatments: An Original Research.

INTRODUCTION

The tonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure performed for the treatment of chronic tonsillitis (CT). In the present study, we aim to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) after CT.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective study among 100 tonsillectomy patients whose data were collected from the department records. The QOL was evaluated using the "Glasgow Benefit Inventory." We assessed various parameters pre-and post-surgery. We deliberated P < 0.05 as significant when comparing the pre-and post-surgical QOL.

RESULTS

We observed that of the 100 subjected selected for the study, there was a significant improvement in the QOL and the disease severity variables.

CONCLUSIONS

The tonsillectomy for the treatment of CT among adults has improved the QOL of the patients. Overall patients' health conditions and professional life improved after the procedure.
