What is Tonsillectomy?
Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils. It is often performed along with adenoidectomy, which is a surgical procedure to remove the adenoid glands. Tonsillectomy helps in removing recurrent throat infections. It lessens severe throat infections for a minimum of two years.
How is Tonsillectomy performed?
A small tool is inserted into the mouth to keep it open.
The tongue is depressed to view the throat.
The tonsils are then removed with a surgical instrument.
The cuts do not require stitches.

If the patient has acute tonsillitis, it should be treated before tonsillectomy. Tonsillectomy may be postponed for three to four weeks in case of treatment.
