The tonsils are involved in the lymphatic system that serves as a network of organs and tissues within the body. These act as a defense mechanism for the body to fight off infections. They also form the body's first line of defense, helping to combat bacteria and viruses that enter through the mouth and nose. Here is a brief overview of the anatomy of tonsils.
Although the tonsils are a part of the lymphatic system, they are non-critical and do not compromise the ability of the body significantly to fend off infection.
Type of surgery | Description |
Traditional Tonsillectomy | Here the tonsils are completely removed. This procedure is done under general anesthesia. |
Coblation Tonsillectomy | It uses radiofrequency energy to dissolve and eliminate the tonsil tissue with minimal damage to surrounding tissue, which could lead to reduced pain and quicker recovery as compared to traditional tonsillectomy. |
Laser Tonsillectomy | Laser tonsillectomy uses a laser to remove the tonsils. The laser beam is directed at the tonsil tissue, effectively vaporizing it and sealing blood vessels. |
Partial Tonsillectomy | This surgical procedure includes only partially eradicating the tonsils, leaving some remnants behind. This method offers a faster recovery and less post-operative pain. |
