Adenotonsillectomy

• Chronic Tonsillitis: Recurrent or persistent infections of the tonsils that do not respond to medical treatment.
• Sleep Apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids that block the airway during sleep.
• Breathing Difficulties: Chronic nasal obstruction or breathing difficulties due to enlarged adenoids and tonsils.
• Recurrent Ear Infections: Frequent ear infections associated with enlarged adenoids blocking the Eustachian tubes.
• Tonsil Stones: Formation of tonsil stones (tonsilloliths) that cause bad breath and discomfort.

Treatment and ProcedureAdenotonsillectomy is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves the following steps:

• Preparation: Patients receive pre-operative instructions, including fasting guidelines and medication adjustments, to prepare for surgery.
• Surgical Procedure: The surgeon removes the tonsils and adenoids through the mouth using specialized surgical instruments. The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
• Recovery and Post-operative Care: After surgery, patients are monitored in the recovery area before being discharged home. Post-operative care includes pain management, hydration, and dietary recommendations to promote healing.

Recovery ProcessThe recovery period following adenotonsillectomy typically lasts about one to two weeks. Patients may experience throat pain, mild bleeding, and difficulty swallowing, which gradually improve as healing progresses. Our team provides detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal outcomes.
