    What is a Tonsillectomy

    TX

    A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils, which are two small glands located at the back of the throat. The tonsils play a role in the body’s immune system by helping to fight infections, but in some cases, they can become more of a problem than a benefit. Here are some key points about tonsillectomy:

    Indications for Tonsillectomy

    • Chronic or recurrent tonsillitis
    • Enlarged tonsils causing breathing difficulties, including sleep apnea
    • Frequent throat infections
    • Peritonsillar abscess (an infection that spreads behind the tonsils)
    • Tonsil stones (tonsilloliths) causing significant discomfort or bad breath

    Procedure

    • Typically performed under general anesthesia
    • Various techniques can be used, such as cold knife (steel) dissection, electrocautery, or coblation (radiofrequency)

    FAQ

    TX

    Common symptoms include recurrent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, bad breath, swollen lymph nodes, and snoring or sleep disturbances.

    The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, where the tonsils are removed using traditional surgical methods or modern techniques like laser or ultrasonic scalpel. It is typically an outpatient procedure with same-day discharge.

    During recovery, you can expect some pain and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Staying hydrated and gradually returning to a normal diet is important. Full recovery usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks.

    As with any surgery, there are risks, including bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. However, serious complications are rare, and your healthcare provider will discuss these risks with you before the procedure.
