Tonsillectomy: When Is Tonsil Surgery Necessary?

Frequent recurrent tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis, enlarged tonsils, snoring, or sleep apnea can interfere with breathing and swallowing and affect quality of life.

In such cases, a doctor may recommend a tonsillectomy — a surgical procedure to remove the palatine tonsils. It is performed under general anesthesia and helps reduce the risk of frequent inflammation and complications.

Recovery after surgery usually takes 10–14 days. During this period, it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions, drink enough fluids, and avoid hot, spicy, and hard foods.

At Vardanants Center for Innovative Medicine, tonsillectomy is performed by experienced ENT surgeons using modern methods and with postoperative monitoring.
