Ordering this service voids the discount*
Adenotonsillectomy is a surgical procedure involving the simultaneous removal of the adenoids (pharyngeal tonsil) and palatine tonsils. It is performed in cases of chronic inflammation and hypertrophy of lymphoid tissue that affect breathing, sleep, and overall health.
The procedure is carried out under visual control using modern minimally invasive techniques, allowing effective removal of the infection source and restoration of normal airway function.
Indications
- Hypertrophy of adenoids and palatine tonsils;
- Chronic tonsillitis;
- Recurrent tonsillitis (frequent sore throats);
- Nasal breathing disorders;
- Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (snoring, breathing pauses);
- Recurrent ear infections and hearing loss;
- Ineffectiveness of conservative treatment.
Procedure/Duration
- Performed under general anesthesia;
- Removal is done through the oral cavity without external incisions;
- Modern surgical or radiofrequency techniques are used;
- Duration: 30–60 minutes;
- Hospitalization - usually 1 day depending on the case.
Contraindications
- Acute infections;
- Coagulation disorders;
- Decompensated chronic diseases;
- Acute inflammatory conditions;
- Individual contraindications to anesthesia.
Rehabilitation/Restrictions
- Sore throat in the first days after surgery;
- Soft, non-irritating diet;
- Limitation of physical activity for 7–10 days;
- Avoid hot food and drinks;
- Temporary weakness may occur;
- Full recovery within 10–14 days.
Advantages
- Elimination of chronic infection source;
- Improved breathing and sleep quality;
- Reduced frequency of ENT infections;
- Prevention of complications (otitis, sleep apnea);
- Improved overall quality of life.
