• What happens in the PACU and what nurses monitor (oxygen levels, vital signs, comfort)
• When your surgeon updates your family and reviews what was done/found
• What discharge instructions usually cover and what to expect at home
• Pain control expectations (often mild—Tylenol/acetaminophen or ibuprofen if safe; occasionally a stronger prescription as needed)
• Why topical medications may be used during the procedure to reduce irritation afterward

🚨 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
Always follow your surgeon’s specific instructions (protocols vary). Seek urgent/emergency care for trouble breathing, worsening throat swelling, significant bleeding, persistent vomiting, or other severe/worsening symptoms.
