Tonsils, which are lymphoid tissues, are the most important structure of the body immune system. Tonsils, which serve to protect the body against airborne bacteria and infections, swell when faced with any danger or threat, preventing the body from producing antibodies and viruses from entering the body through the mouth.

But in some cases, the tonsils themselves can begin to produce infections and damage the body’s immune system. In this case, tonsillectomy is recommended. This surgery, performed under general anesthesia, and classed as one of the most straightforward ETN surgery which takes between 20 and 30 minutes to complete

Tonsils, which are the body’s defense mechanism, produce antibodies against viruses. But in some cases, the tonsils themselves begin to produce infections and weaken the immune system. In order for the surgery to be deemed suitable, individuals must have had tonsil infections 7 times within 1 year and have abscess formation in the tonsils due to infection. In addition, tonsillitis may cause respiratory and nutritional problems, and in some cases, it may even cause sleep apnea. On the other hand, detecting a tumor in the tonsils or suspicion of a tumor is an important factor to warrant the surgical option to be chosen.

After tonsillectomy, individuals stay in the hospital for 1 night. Moderate pain in the throat, a feeling of something stuck in the throat, pain in the ears, neck and jaw may occur for one to two weeks after the surgery. Home rest for 2 weeks after the surgery is important for the recovery process. But the first 10 days should be very careful. During this period, individuals are recommended to consume milk and ice cream. For 2 weeks, their diet should consist of soft foods that are easy to tolerate and not chewable, such as yoghurt, puree, grain-free soups and broth. And drinking plenty of water is important to prevent dehydration. As with any surgery, individuals must stay away from strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 2 weeks. After 1 week, individuals attend to their first follow-up check.

Since it is not a long and and an extremely invasive surgery, the recovery period is normally 1 to 2 weeks.
