N2  - Objective: Tonsillectomy is the mostperformed operation in the otorhinolaryngology clinics. Pain, bleeding,infection in the tonsillary region, otalgia, dysphagia, dysphonia and dysphasiaare the most observed compliacations in the postoperative period. There are severalmethods which were tested for postoperative pain management, one of these ispreemptive analgesia. In this study preemptive intravenous therapy withtenoxicam, a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug in oxicam group, is evaluated onposttonsillectomy patients to investigate its efficacy on postoperative pain.Material and Method: Patients withchronic tonsillitis and without systemiz disease who between the ages of 18 and50 are inckuded in this study. Control group (n=50) received only postoperativeoral ibuprofen therapy. Study group received both preemptive intavenoustenoxicam and postoperative oral ibuprofen therapies. Verbai Pain Scale(VPS:0-10) is used to evaluate pain intensity of the patients. In additionnausea, vomiting, bleeding, otalgia, mouth openning and swallowing withoutpain, sex, age and education status compared tho groups as the otherparameters.Results: There was no statisticallysignificant differance (P>0.05) between the two groups when the followingparameters compared; age and sex distribution, educational status,postoperative pain, vomiting and bleeding. Pain intensity of the patients inthe study group found lower than the control group when it’s compared by VPS(P<0.001) Conclusions: Postoperative pain, whichis observed in adult patients who underwent tonsillectomy is a quite intensesymptom. Inthis study tenoxicam is found to be a useful preemptive analgesicagent because of its efficacy on decreasing postoperative analgesia need inpatients significantly, simplicity of its use in practice and its effect onincreasing the comfort of patient in postoperative period.
