Tonsillectomy is the complete surgical removal of the palatine tonsils. It is performed for chronic tonsillitis, frequent episodes of acute bacterial tonsillitis, or enlarged tonsils that significantly affect breathing and quality of life. Unlike tonsillotomy, which only reduces the size of the tonsils, tonsillectomy removes both tonsils fully.
Tonsillectomy is recommended if you have:
Stop blood thinners such as aspirin or ibuprofen 5 days before surgery, unless your doctor has advised otherwise.
Follow the anesthesiologist’s instructions about eating and drinking before the procedure.
On the morning of surgery, do not eat or drink, except for a small sip of water approved by the anesthesiologist for essential medication.
Tell your doctor about allergies, chronic illnesses, and regularly used medication.
For children, explain the operation calmly and simply. During recovery, cool, soft, liquid, or semi-liquid foods are recommended, while fizzy, spicy, hot, or otherwise irritating foods should be avoided.
