Tonsil / Adenoid Surgery
When enlarged or infected tonsils and adenoids are affecting a child's breathing, sleep, or swallowing, surgical removal can bring significant relief. A tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy removes enlarged or chronically infected tonsil and adenoid tissue from the back of the throat and nasal passages, addressing sleep apnea and disrupted breathing during sleep, recurrent throat infections, significant nasal blockage, and trouble swallowing related to enlarged tissue.
Performed under general anesthesia through the mouth, with no visible incisions, most children go home the same day, though some may stay overnight for observation. The procedure can meaningfully improve sleep quality and breathing, reduce the frequency of throat infections, and ease swallowing difficulty.
