Tonsillectomy is a surgical operation for the complete removal of the palatine tonsils. The tonsils are collections of lymphoid tissue located on the sides of the pharynx. Normally, they perform a protective function as part of the immune system. However, with frequent inflammation (tonsillitis) or significant enlargement (hypertrophy), the tonsils themselves become a chronic source of infection that can harm the entire body (complications affecting the heart, joints, kidneys) or cause mechanical obstruction to breathing and swallowing. In such cases, conservative treatment is often ineffective, and tonsillectomy becomes the only method to radically solve the problem and improve the quality of life for both children and adults.
The main goal is to eliminate the chronic source of infection by completely removing the tonsils, thereby preventing further complications and improving the patient's overall health and quality of life.

A sore throat is the main symptom after tonsillectomy. Its intensity varies, but with modern methods like coblation, it is significantly less. The pain is well managed with regular intake of pain relievers prescribed by the doctor and by following the diet (cool food and drinks).
