WHAT IS TONSILLECTOMY
Definition:
A tonsillectomy is surgery to remove the tonsils.
Alternative Names:
Tonsils removal
Description:
The tonsils help protect against infections. However, children with large tonsils may have frequent sore throats and ear infections , or have nightly breathing problems. In these cases, surgery to remove the tonsils may be helpful.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. This means your child will be unconscious and pain-free. The surgeon holds the mouth open to expose the tonsils. The tonsils are then cut or burned away. Steps are taken to control bleeding, and the cut heals naturally without stitches.
Indications:
A tonsillectomy should be considered when tonsillitis attacks are so frequent or severe that they affect a child's general health or interfere with school, hearing, or breathing. However, some physicians believe tonsillectomies are done more often than necessary, so get a second opinion when there is any doubt.
Specifically, the guidelines for surgery are:
7 or more episodes of tonsillitis in 1 year
5 or more episodes per year over a 2-year period
Enlarged tonsils that interfere with breathing
An abscess in the tonsils
Grossly asymmetric tonsils
A tonsillectomy also may be needed if the tonsils are enlarged and blocking access to the adenoids during an adenoidectomy or if the physician suspects the presence of a tonsil tumor.
