SORE THROAT, LARYNGOSPASM, MINOR, POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
The occurrence rates of postoperative complications in the control group of our study, including sore throat (40%), hoarseness (24%), and laryngospasm (4%), were within the normal range reported in previous related studies [Glycerin is widely used in cough syrups because it forms a soothing, mucus-protecting, and lubricating layer in the pharynx [Systemic administration of dexamethasone in a study by Bagchi In our study, the dexamethasone emollient group showed statistically insignificant and minor reductions in sore throat and hoarseness compared to the control group, which were similar to the glycerin group. This may be attributed to the emollient nature of the medication, where glycerin was used as a thickener to prepare the dexamethasone emollient, resulting in a thinner layer and a reduced steroid dose.Although the lidocaine gel group exhibited a lower incidence rate of postoperative hoarseness, it was statistically insignificant. However, a significant reduction in sore throat incidence was observed compared to the control group, consistent with a study by Parineeta
