The tonsils are located in the back of the throat. In some people, the tonsils can become infected or inflamed, leading to complications and daily discomfort.
A tonsillectomy is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day of surgery. General anesthesia will keep you comfortable during the procedure and ensure you do not feel any pain. Your surgeon will then remove the tonsils either using a scalpel or a specialized tool to heat the tissue and stop bleeding. After this, you will be able to return home and recover.
