Tonsillectomy
Doctors used to think that the tonsils and adenoids were of no use in human body. Tonsils and adenoids would be surgically removed (tonsillectomy) for the purpose of preventing tonsillitis. Today, research suggests that tonsils and adenoids are our front-line defense force against infections, which invade the human body through the mouth, nose and throat.
In definition, tonsillectomy just describes the procedure of surgical removal of tonsils for the purpose of relieving tonsillitis symptoms. Tonsillectomy is not a premier treatment option for tonsillitis today, but if repeated episodes of tonsillitis interfere with your breathing or affects your general health, your doctor may recommend a tonsillectomy.
Tonsillectomy is performed on certain conditions- the surgeon will ask you lots of questions to determine whether or not your tonsils must be removed. If your infection matches the following conditions, your doctor will perform a tonsillectomy:
~Recurrent infections despite antibiotics intake
~Voice sound impairment for more than six months
~Long-lasting airway or swallowing obstruction due to swollen lymph nodes
More than six episodes of tonsillitis in one year
~Three or more episodes of tonsil infection in a three years period
~More than four episodes of tonsillitis a year for over two years
