Trying to answer : Not sure what your question is exactly: ents can be seen in days to weeks and surgery can be scheduled in days to weeks in most cases. Most of the time the surgery takes between 30-45 minutes including time to go to sleep and wake up from anesthetic. Most adults can go home the same day but some need an overnight stay (if very obese or with bad sleep apnea or other serious coexisting disease).
