Adenoid and Tonsil Surgery
Adenoid and Tonsil Surgery (Adenoidectomy & Tonsillectomy)
The adenoids and tonsils are part of the immune system and help protect the body from infections. However, when these tissues become enlarged or frequently infected, they can cause breathing problems, snoring, sleep disturbances, and recurrent throat infections. In such cases, adenoidectomy (removal of adenoids) and tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) provide an effective and long-term solution.
What Are Adenoids and Tonsils?
Adenoids:
Located at the back of the nasal cavity, enlarged adenoids can block airflow and cause mouth breathing.
Tonsils:
Situated on both sides of the throat, enlarged or infected tonsils can lead to difficulty swallowing and breathing.
