A Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the tonsils — two small lymphoid tissues located at the back of the throat. The tonsils play a role in fighting infections, especially in early childhood, but when they become frequently infected or enlarged, they can cause significant discomfort, swallowing difficulty, and breathing problems. A tonsillectomy provides a long-lasting solution for chronic or recurrent throat infections.
A tonsillectomy is usually performed when:
A patient suffers from recurrent tonsillitis (multiple infections within a year)
The tonsils cause sleep apnea or breathing disturbances
The patient has difficulty swallowing or breathing due to enlarged tonsils
Chronic sore throat and discomfort affect the quality of life
The tonsils cause abscesses or other complications
✅ Provides long-lasting relief from chronic sore throat and infections
✅ Improves breathing and swallowing
✅ Reduces the risk of throat infections and related complications
✅ Improves overall quality of life and comfort
✅ Enables sound, restful sleep for patients with obstructive tonsils
Modern tonsillectomy can be performed using various methods:
Cold Dissection Technique: Traditional method using scalpel or surgical instruments
Electrocautery: Removes tonsils using electric current to minimize bleeding
Coblation Technique: Uses radiofrequency energy for precision with minimal pain and quick recovery
Harmonic Scalpel: Utilizes ultrasonic vibrations for a bloodless and precise procedure
Laser Tonsillectomy: Laser energy for precise tissue removal and minimal discomfort
A tonsillectomy is ideal for patients:
Suffering from recurrent tonsillitis (5–7 episodes per year)
Experiencing enlarged tonsils leading to breathing or swallowing difficulty
Dealing with sleep apnea or snoring caused by enlarged tonsils
Not responding to medical treatments like antibiotics
At risk for complications from repeated infections
✅ Anesthesia: General anesthesia ensures a pain-free experience.
✅ Duration: The surgery typically takes 30–60 minutes.
✅ Technique: The surgeon removes the tonsils using the selected method (cold dissection, coblation, etc.).
✅ Post-op Recovery: Patients can return home the same day or stay overnight for observation.
Rest: Patients are encouraged to rest for 7–10 days.
Diet: Begin with soft foods and liquids, gradually returning to a regular diet.
Pain Management: Doctor-prescribed medications help reduce discomfort.
Hydration: Drinking water and other liquids is crucial for recovery.
Avoid Strenuous Activity: Limit heavy activities for at least 2 weeks.

Bleeding post-surgery

Pain in the throat, ears, or jaw
