Summary
The investigators postulate that the use of pre-incisional peritonsillar infiltration of
tramadol or lidocaine reduces both the inflammatory response and postoperative analgesic
consumption, without harmful effects. Therefore, the present study is designed to evaluate
the effects of infiltration of tramadol or lidocaine on the postoperative acute-phase serum
protein, C-reactive protein, and analgesic consumption after tonsillectomy.
