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.

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.

When the patient is asleep, a breathing tube will be inserted through the nose.
Next, the surgical team will pack the back of the throat with cotton or other material to absorb blood and prevent it from escaping down the back of the throat.
An instrument called a retractor will be used to hold the tongue.
Using a clamp, the surgeon will pull the tonsils toward the middle of the mouth.
Next, the tonsils are cut free by tightening a wire loop around each of their bases.
Finally, when the bleeding has lessened, the team will remove the packing and the breathing tube.
Depending on the age of the patient and the size of the tonsils, fine sutures may be used to close the blood vessels feeding the tonsils.
No bandage or other covering is required.

PEAK Surgical, Inc. and Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE: MDT) established an agreement that grants the Surgical Technologies business at Medtronic exclusive rights for global distribution and marketing of the PEAK PlasmaBlade® TnA (Tonsil and Adenoid) tissue dissection device for the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) market.
PEAK Surgical has developed a family of disposable surgical cutting and coagulation tools to ensure that ENT surgeons have the technology they need for a variety of procedures:
* The PlasmaBlade TnA is designed for ENT surgery with exchangeable tips that can be used for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
* The PlasmaBlade 4.0, which is designed to be used to cut through all types of soft tissue, including skin, fat and muscle.
* The PlasmaBlade Needle, which has a fine needlepoint tip, is specifically designed for use in ultra-precise surgical procedures.
* The PlasmaBlade EXT is designed for use in surgical procedures requiring an extended tip to reach deep into an oral cavity, such as turbinate surgery.
Benefits of the PlasmaBlade in ENT Surgery
The PlasmaBlade provides ENT surgeons with a single precision device designed to remove both the tonsils and the adenoid.
For Tonsillectomy
* Constant suction integrated through the blade tip
* Anatomically contoured and tapered blade for ultra precise dissection and coagulation
* Rotatable tip for ease of use and angle adjustment
* Dry operating field for enhanced visibility
For Adenoidectomy
* Quickly and precisely de-bulk tissue and coagulate with one device
* Integrated suction evacuates smoke, blood and tissue
* Tip rotates and bends for variable anatomy and easy site access
* Potential for quick, bloodless adenoid removal
TnA Handle
* Ergonomic design for comfort and control
* Integrated suction for improved visibility
* Interchangeable and rotatable tips for easy access and positioning
* Finger tip controls for less clutter
* Optional footswitch control available
Surgical Procedures
Because it cuts tissue as precisely as a scalpel and controls bleeding as effectively as traditional electrosurgery without causing extensive collateral thermal damage to tissues, the PlasmaBlade is proving to be useful in a variety of ENT procedures, including:
* Tonsillectomy
* Adenoidectomy
* Septoplasty
* Rhinoplasty
* Tracheotomy
* Tumor removal
* Thyroidectomy
* Parotidectomy
* Uvula palatoplasty
* Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty

Combining the two surgeries reduced the cost and reduced the risks associated with general anesthesia. It did make the recovery less pleasant, though.

* The PlasmaBlade EXT is designed for use in surgical procedures requiring an extended tip to reach deep into an oral cavity, such as turbinate surgery.
Benefits of the PlasmaBlade in ENT Surgery
The PlasmaBlade provides ENT surgeons with a single precision device designed to remove both the tonsils and the adenoid.
For Tonsillectomy
* Constant suction integrated through the blade tip
* Anatomically contoured and tapered blade for ultra precise dissection and coagulation
* Rotatable tip for ease of use and angle adjustment
* Dry operating field for enhanced visibility
For Adenoidectomy
* Quickly and precisely de-bulk tissue and coagulate with one device
* Integrated suction evacuates smoke, blood and tissue
* Tip rotates and bends for variable anatomy and easy site access
* Potential for quick, bloodless adenoid removal
TnA Handle
* Ergonomic design for comfort and control
* Integrated suction for improved visibility
* Interchangeable and rotatable tips for easy access and positioning
* Finger tip controls for less clutter
* Optional footswitch control available
Surgical Procedures
Because it cuts tissue as precisely as a scalpel and controls bleeding as effectively as traditional electrosurgery without causing extensive collateral thermal damage to tissues, the PlasmaBlade is proving to be useful in a variety of ENT procedures, including:
* Tonsillectomy
* Adenoidectomy
* Septoplasty
* Rhinoplasty
* Tracheotomy
* Tumor removal
* Thyroidectomy
* Parotidectomy
* Uvula palatoplasty

Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
When the patient is asleep, a breathing tube will be inserted through the nose.
Next, the surgical team will pack the back of the throat with cotton or other material to absorb blood and prevent it from escaping down the back of the throat.
An instrument called a retractor will be used to hold the tongue.
Using a clamp, the surgeon will pull the tonsils toward the middle of the mouth.
Next, the tonsils are cut free by tightening a wire loop around each of their bases.
Finally, when the bleeding has lessened, the team will remove the packing and the breathing tube.
Depending on the age of the patient and the size of the tonsils, fine sutures may be used to close the blood vessels feeding the tonsils.
No bandage or other covering is required.

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.
