Background and objectives: Tonsillectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures. Up to date there are no guidelines for pain control following tonsillectomy. The aim was to determine whether oral spray flurbipro- fen reduces pain and has an influence on wound healing following tonsillectomy.
Methods: A Prospective, randomized study was done in Rizgary Teaching Hospital (Erbil-Iraq). This study was conducted on 60 patients who underwent ton- sillectomy between July 2017 and July 2018. Patients were randomly chosen and they were divided into two groups (thirty patients included in test group received flurbiprofen spray, other thirty included in control group). For test group oral spray flurbiprofen was used 3 times a day, every time three puffs. Postoperative pain was evaluated on the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th postoperative days. The Efficacy was evaluated by universal pain assessment tool. Wound healing was evaluated on the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th postoperative days.
Results: The flurbiprofen group include 30 patients (18 males, 12 females) with a mean age of 23 years (range 12-40 years); the control group consisted of 30 patients (16 males, 14 females) with a mean age of 22 years (range12- 40 years). The severity of throat pain was lower in the flurbiprofen group when compared with the control group, and this difference was statistically highly significant for the 4th and the 7th day. Wound healing was not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusions: The use of flurbiprofen oral spray decreases postoperative tonsillectomy pain.
