Study Design and Objectives: This study aimed to investigate Triamcinolone ointment's effect on pain and bleeding after tonsillectomy by suturing method. Methods: The present study was performed as a single-blind clinical trial on 200 patients who underwent a total tonsillectomy in the ENT department of Loghman Hakim Hospital in Tehran during 2016. Candidates for total tonsillectomy were randomized into 2 groups one by one. Participants were randomly divided into 2 groups. Both groups matched homologically. Patients in both groups (intervention and control) underwent cold dissection total tonsillectomy. In addition to suturing, in the intervention group, Triamcinolone ointment was used to control the local bleeding at the surgical site. In the control group, only sutures were used to control bleeding. The studied variables included: bleeding and pain 24 hours after surgery, Time to start oral feeding. Result: The frequency of bleeding cases in the first 24 hours are included: 4 patients (5.63%) in the intervention group and 6 patients (8.45%) in the control group (P = 0.01). The average time to start eating for patients who were treated with topical triamcinolone ointment was significantly less than those who were not treated with this ointment. Only 2 patients (2.77%) in the intervention group took analgesics in the first 24 hours after surgery, while and 11 patients (15.3%) in the control group received analgesics in the same time period. Conclusion: In general, the results of this study showed that the use of Triamcinolone ointment in total tonsillectomy could reduce bleeding, analgesics usage, and the time of feeding onset.
