Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy Procedure

Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, often referred to as T&A, is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the tonsils and the adenoid glands. While these procedures can be performed independently, they are commonly performed together. Patients may opt for a joint procedure if they are finding difficulty swallowing and breathing.

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

Patients will be placed under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. It is important to follow all instructions provided by your doctor to ensure a successful surgery.

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.
