Have you experienced an excess of sore throats or throat infections? Then you may want to consult your doctor about a Tonsillectomy. This surgical procedure removes the tonsils which are located on each side of the back of the mouth. Tonsils function to fight off infection, but sometimes they become infected themselves, and if this occurs too often, it may be time to permanently remove them. During this interactive procedure, you will remove the infected tonsils from the sides of the mouth, by doing so this will expose the connective tissue and you will use a cauterizing tool and tonsil clamp to remove them and seal off the blood vessels. After the Tonsillectomy surgery, we’ll discuss recovery. So go ahead, scrub in and let’s get started!
