OBJECTIVES: To provide parents of @entity1 with accurate information regarding @entity282 , its management, and functioning following common surgical procedures. BACKGROUND: The increasing prevalence of pediatric day-case procedures demands a more thorough understanding of the recovery profiles associated with these operations. AIM: To document postdischarge @entity158 profiles, analgesia requirements, and functional limitation in @entity1 following tonsillectomy, orchidopexy, or @entity169 ( @entity169 ). METHODS: Following hospital discharge, parents were asked to record their @entity1 's @entity158 levels, analgesia consumption, and degree of functional limitation each day until complete recovery. @entity158 and functional limitation were measured using the Parents' Postoperative @entity158 Measurement (PPPM) scale and Functional Activity Score, respectively. Significant @entity158 was defined as PPPM >=  6. RESULTS: One hundred and five @entity1 (50, tonsillectomy; 24, orchidopexy; and 31, @entity169 ) were recruited. Median PPPM was always <6 after @entity169 , >= 6 only on day 1 after orchidopexy and persisted through to day 8 after tonsillectomy. Mild or severe functional limitation was observed after all surgeries and persisted for 4, 5, and 4 days after median PPPM < 6 after @entity169 , orchidopexy, and tonsillectomy, respectively. Combination analgesia was commonly administered after orchidopexy and tonsillectomy but less so after @entity169 . The general practitioner consultation rate following tonsillectomy was 54%. CONCLUSIONS: After tonsillectomy, @entity1 experience significant @entity158 and severe functional limitation for 7 days after surgery. For many @entity1 , @entity158 and functional limitation persists throughout the second postoperative week. In @entity1 undergoing orchidopexy, @entity1443 and @entity5018 provide adequate analgesia. @entity158 begins to subside after the first postoperative day, and normal activity resumes after 7 days. After @entity169 , @entity1 experience mild @entity158 that can be treated with @entity1443 and return to normal functioning after 4 days.
