1. When is tonsillectomy indicated?
The tonsils are considered the "gateway" to protect the airways, but in the case of inflamed tonsils, it is a reservoir of bacteria, completely no longer protective. At this time, if it lasts for a long time, if it is not completely cured, it also causes serious damage to health and spreads to surrounding parts.
When is tonsillectomy indicated?
Usually, an ENT specialist will prescribe tonsillectomy in cases such as:
- Tonsillitis is not effective with medical treatment and the doctor prescribes cutting.
- When the tonsils are enlarged, they cause respiratory obstruction, especially in children.
- Tonsillitis recurs several times a year, swelling purulent.
- Tonsillitis causes other complications such as otitis media, sinusitis or problems related to the heart and joints, etc.
2. Tonsillectomy surgery safely and effectively thanks to the application of Plasma knife technology
