Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are surgical procedures commonly performed together to remove the tonsils and adenoids, respectively, from the back of the throat and nasal cavity. This combined procedure is often recommended for individuals aged 12 years old or over who experience recurrent throat infections, sleep-disordered breathing, or other complications related to enlarged tonsils and adenoids. During the surgery, which is typically performed under general anesthesia, the surgeon carefully removes the tonsils and adenoids using specialized instruments. The procedure aims to alleviate symptoms such as chronic sore throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, and recurrent ear infections. Recovery from tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy usually involves several days of rest, pain management, and a soft diet to minimize discomfort and promote healing. Most individuals can return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, although full recovery may take several weeks.
