Tonsillectomy

The tonsils are small glands located at the back of the throat.

To fight infection, tonsils contain white blood cells and are part of the immune system, but sometimes they become infected themselves.

Tonsil removal surgery is performed under general anesthesia, which usually takes 30 minutes.

The most common ways to remove tonsils are:

This method uses heat to remove tonsils and prevent bleeding.

The tonsils are removed with a surgical razor, then the bleeding is stopped with stitches or electrocautery.

There are some risks with this method. Risks can include:

Pain is common 3 to 4 days after surgery and may last up to two weeks.
You should relax at home for at least a week after your tonsil surgery.
There is a risk of bleeding after tonsil surgery, which reduces the risk after 10 days.

Call your doctor if you feel bleeding or fever after tonsillectomy. Snoring within two weeks after tonsil surgery is normal.

The key to recovery after tonsil surgery is to drink enough fluids.
