Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy Procedure
A tonsillectomy refers to the surgical removal of the tonsils and an adenoidectomy refers to the surgical removal of the adenoid glands. This procedure is typically performed on children who have swollen tonsils and adenoid glands, but it can be performed on adults if necessary.
When is this Procedure Necessary?
Patients may undergo a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy procedure if both the tonsils and adenoid glands are swollen. Without treatment, the swelling could cause difficulty breathing and swallowing, sleep apnea, and recurring infections. When deciding to undergo a T&A surgery, patients should consult with their doctors to gather an informed opinion.
Patients often consider this procedure if they have the following symptoms:
- Recurring infections
- Sore throats
- Difficulty swallowing
- Sleep apnea
Preparing for Your Procedure
A T&A procedure is performed through the patient’s mouth, and the surgeon will use small instruments to carefully remove the adenoid glands and the tonsils. After the procedure, the patient will be removed from the anesthesia and will be monitored.
The recovery process typically takes around three weeks. Since this procedure is typically performed on children, it is important to listen to them and ensure they are comfortable throughout the recovery process.
