Informacje o zabiegu
Tonsillotomy is a surgical procedure involving reduction in the mass of palatal tonsils. It is recommended in persons with only hypertrophy of tonsils. Recurrent infections or abscesses are contraindications to the procedure. This method involves less risk of infection and abscess formation than the operational removal of whole tonsils. An additional advantage is to leave a part of the lymphatic tissue, which in case of later infection of the upper respiratory tract can take up its immune functions (resistance). The operation can be performed with different techniques. Most often, it is the laser tonsils incision. Other methods are radiophthalic diathermy or coblation. During the treatment, the tonsils mass is reduced by 30-60 %. After procedure, the patient is subject to professional observation. For a few days after surgery, the patient has to follow a special diet – the best liquid, avoiding sour, spicy, very hot food. In case of pain, the patient should have appropriate painkillers after consultation with a doctor. Full recovery usually takes place in 7-10 days after the procedure.
