Tonsillectomy in children - Patient Education & Patient Engagement -PreOp®
Patient Education Company
Your doctor has recommended that you - or your child - undergo surgery to remove you or your child's tonsils. But what does that actually mean?

In the operating room, the anesthesiologist will begin to administer anesthesia. When the patient is asleep, a breathing tube will be inserted through the nose.

Next, the surgical team will pack the back of the throat with cotton or other material to absorb blood and prevent it from escaping down the back of the throat.

An instrument called a retractor will be used to hold the tongue.

Using a clamp, the surgeon will pull the tonsils toward the middle of the mouth.

Next, the tonsils are cut free by tightening a wire loop around each of their bases.

Finally, when the bleeding has lessened, the team will remove the packing and the breathing tube.

Depending on the age of the patient and the size of the tonsils, fine sutures may be used to close the blood vessels feeding the tonsils.

No bandage or other covering is required.

Most tonsillectomy are not performed like this. Most are steel knife cold dissection, laser or coblation.. This method looks barbaric and inhumane.
