Tonsillitis

Tonsillotomy is a surgical operation in which the tonsils are removed.

Tonsillotomy is performed when the tonsils become the cause of chronic tonsillitis, as well as with frequent sore throats.

During the operation, the doctor makes a small incision on the surface of the tonsils, then uses special instruments to remove them.

After surgery, the patient may experience some pain, but this usually goes away within a few days.

Tonsillitis is a surgical treatment for chronic inflammation of the tonsils (chronic tonsillitis).

Tonsillitis, or inflammation of the tonsils, occurs against the background of their chronic infectious damage by bacteria. The most common pathogens are representatives of the genus streptococci and staphylococci. These microorganisms exhibit pathogenic properties mainly due to constant consumption of alcohol, smoking, and decreased immunity. They create conditions for reproduction, which provokes the formation of toxins in the tissues of the throat. As a result, a large amount of serous or purulent exudate accumulates. Abscesses form on the mucous membranes, lymphoid tissue expands, and an increase in the size of the tonsils is observed. This causes severe pain when swallowing, often accompanied by fever. Acute tonsillitis occurs. There are several types of diagnosis according to the causative factor: 1. Infectious 2. Allergic 3. Autoimmune 4. Dyshormonal 5. Dietary 6. Unidentified. Tonsilectomy is performed in medical institutions. Complications of surgery are quite rare, even if anesthesia is not used. Patients are allowed to eat food 5-6 hours after this operation, and are allowed to get up and walk after 40-90 minutes, largely depending on the bleeding time. Most tonsillotomy patients survive the rehabilitation process by the third day and can resume their daily activities.
