Tonsillectomy Usage

Written by FoundHealth.

Reasons for Procedure

Tonsillectomy is most often done when other nonsurgical treatments have not worked for:

  • Chronic or recurrent tonsil infections—Tonsillectomy may reduce the number, but will not completely eliminate, these infections.
  • Peritonsillar abscess (pocket of infection spreading outside the tonsil)
  • Enlarged tonsils causing obstruction of the throat
