At our clinic, a significant portion of tonsillectomy (TE) preoperative assessments are conducted remotely. The aim of our study was to examine the variation in TE complications, contact rates, and reasons for patient contact between those evaluated preoperatively at the outpatient clinic (OPC), or remotely through virtual visits (VV), or via a digital care pathway (DCP). This investigation is critical for optimizing patient flow through the volume-intensive process of TE.
