Tonsil and adenoid surgeries, also known as tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, are common procedures performed to treat chronic infections, breathing difficulties, and sleep disorders. These surgeries involve the removal of swollen or infected tonsils and adenoids that can obstruct normal airflow and cause repeated throat infections or snoring. The goal is to improve breathing, reduce illness frequency, and enhance the patient's overall quality of life—especially in children.

- Sleep apnea & snoring treatment
- Minimally invasive pediatric surgery
Tonsil and adenoid surgeries are safe and effective, offering long-term relief from recurrent infections and sleep-related breathing issues. Recovery is generally smooth, with post-operative care focusing on hydration, rest, and pain management.

Everything you need to know about tonsil and adenoid surgery
Surgery is recommended in cases of chronic tonsillitis, sleep apnea, snoring, or difficulty breathing due to enlarged tonsils or adenoids. If infections are frequent and affect quality of life, removal is advised.
Mild to moderate pain and throat discomfort are expected for a few days post-surgery. Most children recover within 7–10 days, while adults may take slightly longer. Pain is managed with prescribed medications.
Complications are rare but can include bleeding, infection, or reaction to anesthesia. When performed by experienced ENT specialists, the procedure is safe with a high success rate and minimal risk.
