How Tonsillectomy is performed
Performed under general anesthesia, with optional partial or total removal. The tonsils are usually separated and hemostasis achieved orally using instruments such as cold knives, electrocautery, or plasma. Pathology is sent for examination if necessary. Postoperative monitoring of breathing, bleeding, and pain, with guidance on fluid replacement and a diet progressing from soft to solid, aims to relieve obstruction and reduce recurrent infections. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
