Your doctor has recommended that you - or your child - undergo surgery to remove you or your child's tonsils. But what does that actually mean?

Your tonsils are located in the throat at the back of your mouth - one on either side of the uvula. Together, your tonsils work to help fight infection entering the body through the mouth. They are part of your immune system.

Occasionally tonsils themselves become infected. This condition is called tonsillitis.
Medical Malpractice
During an attack of tonsillitis, the tonsils can become inflamed and can cause fever and body aches. In addition, tonsillitis can increase the chance of other complicating illnesses, including:

Enlargement of the lymph nodes in the neck.

Enlargement of the tonsils causing difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Recurrent bronchitis. And other conditions caused by infection.
Medical Malpractice
In most cases, a doctor will recommended the surgical removal of tonsils only when tonsillitis becomes chronic and begins to interfere with daily life.

Luckily, in most people, the immune system is more than able to compensate for the loss of the tonsils and having them removed will not in any way weaken you. You should make sure you have spoken to your doctor about the particular reasons behind his or her recommendation.
Medical Malpractice
And remember, the final decision is up to you. No one can force you to undergo a surgical procedure against your will.

Coblation - Advanced Tonsillectomy Breakthrough

UCLA's Mattel Children's Hospital Offers Advanced Tonsillectomy Breakthrough

Three-year-old Isabel Sandford had trouble sleeping at night. Her enlarged tonsils blocked her airway, causing her to snore and making it difficult to breathe. Her doctor recommended a tonsillectomy to remove the enlarged tonsils.

However, instead of undergoing the traditional procedure, Isabel had her tonsils removed with a newer technique called Coblation tonsillectomy, offered at UCLA's Mattel Children's Hospital.

Derived from the words "controlled ablation," Coblation uses radio frequency energy to remove tissue through a significantly cooler process than traditional electrosurgery or lasers.

"The Coblation tonsillectomy is a gentle alternative that eliminates most of the pain and recovery time associated with tonsillectomies of the past," said Dr. Nina Shapiro, assistant professor of pediatric otolaryngology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "This technique gently breaks down tissue surrounding the tonsil instead of burning or cutting it out, which means less damage to the surrounding tissue and virtually no bleeding."

Using the Coblation wand device, the surgeon places the tip against the base of the tonsil to remove precisely the tissue attaching the tonsil to the throat. The surgeon then uses a foot pedal to control and activate the low-temperature, radio-frequency energy and saline conductive solution from the wand tip to the area around the tonsil. This action creates a plasma field that gently breaks down the targeted tissue. The wand also contains a coagulation feature that allows the surgeon to stop any bleeding quickly.

The Coblation tonsillectomy takes less than 15 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis in an operating room under general anesthesia.

"With the traditional tonsillectomy, patients suffered sore throats, needed more pain medication and took a week or two to recuperate," Shapiro said. "Now, I'm finding that with this technique, patients can drink and eat a few hours after surgery, require less pain medication, and return to normal activity within a few days."

Tonsils are oval-shaped masses of lymphatic tissue located at the back of the throat that aid the body in fighting infections. Approximately 500,000 tonsillectomies are performed on children each year, making it the second-most common childhood surgery performed in the United States.

Although tonsils may need to be removed because of repeated infections, they are more likely to be taken out because they've grown too large for the child's airway.

"When children sleep, the muscles of the throat relax, and if the tonsils are enlarged they can press against the throat. This obstruction causes snoring, breathing difficulties and even sleep apnea," Shapiro said. "Ultimately, sleeping problems lead to either daytime fatigue or hyperactivity, as well as other behavioral problems, because the child is sleep-deprived."

The Federal Drug Administration approved Coblation for use in tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy procedures in July 2001. Since the first Coblation tonsillectomy was performed in January 2000, physicians have performed more than 50,000 procedures worldwide.

Isabel was home eating ice cream less than a few hours after her procedure and her parents said they were very pleased with the results.

"Isabel's healing process went so smoothly. She had very little pain and was back to her normal self very quickly," reported her mother, Raquel Sandford. "And, the original symptoms are gone — no more runny nose or snoring — she's quiet as a mouse when she sleeps!"

Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA offers a full spectrum of primary and specialized medical care for infants, children and adolescents.

Sound Sleep After Tonsillectomy

Tonsillectomy is the most common treatment for sleep-disordered breathing. Having your tonsils taken out doesn't have to be as painful as in years past. New advancements, such as Coblation are making the recovery far quicker and more comfortable for children.

Approximately three-fourths of all tonsillectomies are performed to remove enlarged tonsils, ones that are obstructing a child's ability to breathe and potentially leading to sleep-disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea. Symptoms of sleep disordered breathing include, restless sleep, snoring, poor academic performance, bedwetting and ADHD-type behaviors.

While relatively uncommon, due to the advancement of antibiotics, tonsils are still removed as a treatment for recurring or chronic tonsillitis.

A tonsillectomy is a 2,000 year-old surgical procedure in which the tonsils are removed from either side of the throat. The procedure is performed in response to cases of repeated occurrence of acute tonsillitis or adenoiditis, obstructive sleep apnea, nasal airway obstruction, snoring, or peritonsillar abscess. Sometimes the adenoids are removed at the same time, a procedure called adenoidectomy. Although tonsillectomy is being performed less frequently than in the 1950s, it remains one of the most common surgical procedures in children.

Your doctor understands that all medical care benefits from close collaboration between physician and patient -- so be sure to review, with your doctor, all risks and alternatives and make sure you understand the reasons behind the recommendation for this particular procedure.

Now let's talk in detail about the procedure your doctor has recommended. That particular recommendation was based on a number of factors:

* the state of your health,

* the severity of your condition,

* an assessment of alternative treatments or procedures and finally,

* the risks associated with doing nothing at all.

And remember, the final decision is up to you. No one can force you to undergo a surgical procedure against your will.

Patient Education

Tonsillectomy is almost always an elective procedure. In other words, your decision to undergo this surgery will most likely be made as a quality of life issue.


The alternative to surgery is simply to live with frequent attacks of tonsillitis and the interruptions to daily life that they can cause.


Fortunately, tonsillectomy is not a complicated procedure and only rarely leads to complications.


Now I'd like to introduce you to another important member of the medical team -- the nurse.

Tonsillectomy 8 Days After Surgery

Tonsillectomy with bovie

Dr. Richards removes the second tonsil during a tonsillectomy operation.

Sound Sleep After Tonsillectomy

Tonsillectomy is the most common treatment for sleep-disordered breathing. Having your tonsils taken out doesn't have to be as painful as in years past. New advancements, such as Coblation are making the recovery far quicker and more comfortable for children.

Approximately three-fourths of all tonsillectomies are performed to remove enlarged tonsils, ones that are obstructing a child's ability to breathe and potentially leading to sleep-disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea. Symptoms of sleep disordered breathing include, restless sleep, snoring, poor academic performance, bedwetting and ADHD-type behaviors.

While relatively uncommon, due to the advancement of antibiotics, tonsils are still removed as a treatment for recurring or chronic tonsillitis.

Your doctor has recommended that you - or your child - undergo surgery to remove you or your child's tonsils. But what does that actually mean?

Your tonsils are located in the throat at the back of your mouth - one on either side of the uvula. Together, your tonsils work to help fight infection entering the body through the mouth. They are part of your immune system.

Occasionally tonsils themselves become infected. This condition is called tonsillitis.

During an attack of tonsillitis, the tonsils can become inflamed and can cause fever and body aches. In addition, tonsillitis can increase the chance of other complicating illnesses, including:

Enlargement of the lymph nodes in the neck.

Enlargement of the tonsils causing difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Recurrent bronchitis. And other conditions caused by infection.

In most cases, a doctor will recommended the surgical removal of tonsils only when tonsillitis becomes chronic and begins to interfere with daily life.

Luckily, in most people, the immune system is more than able to compensate for the loss of the tonsils and having them removed will not in any way weaken you. You should make sure you have spoken to your doctor about the particular reasons behind his or her recommendation.

And remember, the final decision is up to you. No one can force you to undergo a surgical procedure against your will.
