Tonsil Surgery

 


*************************************************************
Relevant Background: "Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure in which both palatine tonsils are fully removed from the back of the throat.[1] The procedure is mainly performed for recurrent throat infections and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).[1] For those with frequent throat infections, surgery results in fewer sore throats in the following one to two years, but unclear long term benefits.[1][2] In children with OSA it results in improved quality of life...While generally safe, complications may include bleeding, vomiting, dehydration, trouble eating, and trouble talking.[1] Throat pain typically lasts about one to two weeks after surgery.[1][4] Bleeding occurs in about 1% within the first day and another 2% after that.[1] Death occurs as a result in between 1 out of 2,360 and 1 in 56,000 procedures. Tonsillectomy does not appear to affect long term immune function...Following the surgery ibuprofen and paracetamol (acetaminophen) may be used to treat postoperative pain.[1] The surgery is often done using metal instruments or electrocautery...The adenoid may also be removed in which case it is known as an "adenotonsillectomy"...The partial removal of the tonsils is called a "tonsillotomy", which may be preferred in cases of OSA...Tonsillectomy is mainly undertaken for sleep apnea and recurrent or chronic tonsillitis.[1] It is also carried out for peritonsillar abscess, periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAPA), guttate psoriasis, nasal airway obstruction, tonsil cancer and diphtheria carrier state. For children, tonsillectomy is usually combined with the removal of the adenoid...The typical cost when done as an inpatient in the United States is US$4,400 as of 2013.."
