Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the complete removal of the palatine tonsils. This intervention is indicated in cases of recurrent tonsillitis, chronic infections, snoring, or obstructive sleep apnea.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia, using a transoral approach (through the mouth), with no external incisions.
| Components | Applied Procedure |
| Palatine tonsils | Complete (capsular) resection |
| Peritonsillar space | Dissection between the capsule and the muscle wall |
| Pharyngeal mucosa | Hemostasis, preservation |
| Surgical instruments | Scalpel, electric loop, radiofrequency, suction device |
Purpose and Benefits of the Procedure:
- Elimination of the source of recurrent infections (chronic/recurrent tonsillitis)
- Improvement of breathing and sleep (in cases of apnea or snoring)
- Reduction of the risk of systemic complications (abscesses, rheumatic fever)
- Enhanced quality of life and general health status
Indications:
- 5–7 episodes of acute tonsillitis annually for at least 2 consecutive years
- Chronic tonsillitis with persistent inflammation
- Recurrent peritonsillar abscesses
- Sleep-related breathing disorders (snoring, obstructive apnea)
- Persistent bad breath (halitosis) linked to cryptic tonsils
Patient Preparation:
- ENT consultation and complete preoperative evaluation
- Complete blood count, coagulation tests, ECG, pre-anesthesia assessment
- Informing the doctor about current medications (including supplements)
- Discontinuation of medications affecting coagulation 10–14 days before surgery
- Fasting: no food or drink for at least 6 hours before the procedure
Procedure:
The tonsils are removed through complete surgical dissection from the peritonsillar space. Modern techniques are used to control bleeding and minimize local trauma.
