Head-only draping during tonsil removal in children
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study is testing a way to drape only the head during a tonsillectomy, instead of draping the whole body. This might make the surgery area easier for the surgeon to reach and possibly improve the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 18 years old on the day of surgery
- The surgery must be a tonsillectomy, with or without adenoidectomy
- No other procedures that need full-body draping during the same operation
- You and your child must be able to do a 30-day follow-up (by phone or through the electronic health record)
- A parent or guardian must give permission for both themselves and their child
- Your child must not have a current infection, known immune deficiency, or take immune-suppressing medicines

This study tests whether a specific body position (lying on the side) during waking up from anesthesia helps children breathe more easily and safely after tonsil and adenoid removal. It may reduce breathing problems after surgery.
This study compares different ways of caring for people after tonsil removal surgery (tonsillectomy). It aims to find which approach helps reduce pain and speed up recovery, so it may help you or your child heal more comfortably.
This study looks at children getting adenoid surgery (adenoidectomy) to see how different factors and surgical methods affect whether any adenoid tissue is left behind. It aims to help improve surgical outcomes.
This study tests whether a numbing mist sprayed into the throat before surgery can reduce sore throat pain children feel after having their tonsils removed. It compares two numbing medicines to see if one works better than the other.
This trial tests whether applying a special gel called RADA16 to the surgical site after tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) can help children heal better and with less pain. It may offer a new way to improve recovery after this common surgery.
This trial looks at how well a specific throat surgery technique works in children who are having their tonsils removed (with or without removing adenoids). It may help improve how doctors choose and perform surgery for safer, better recovery.
