Before determining the most suitable Tonsillectomy treatment, your ENT surgeon may recommend a series of diagnostic tests. Common tests include:
The total cost of Tonsillectomy Surgery can vary based on several factors:
Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils, which are lymphoid tissues located at the back of the throat. This procedure helps treat the conditions of recurrent tonsillitis and other tonsil-related issues, including obstructive sleep apnea. The procedure helps alleviate symptoms such as chronic sore throats, difficulty breathing, and frequent infections.
Adenoidectomy, the removal of the adenoids, is often performed before or during a tonsillectomy in patients who have enlarged adenoids. Enlarged adenoids can contribute to breathing difficulties, ear infections, and sleep apnea. Removing the adenoids along with the tonsils can improve airway function and reduce the risk of future infections.
The cost of tonsillectomy varies depending on factors such as the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the location, and the specific needs of the patient. At the CK Birla Hospital, the cost for tonsillectomy typically includes consultation fees, diagnostic tests, surgery fees, hospital stay, and post-surgery care. The exact cost can be provided during your consultation, tailored to your specific condition and needs.
Tonsils cannot be removed without surgery. However, for mild cases of tonsillitis, non-surgical treatments such as antibiotics, pain relief medications, and lifestyle changes may be recommended. Surgery is generally reserved for patients with recurrent or severe tonsillitis that does not respond to other treatments.
In most cases, tonsillectomy does not cause significant changes to the voice. Some patients may notice a slight difference in voice quality, particularly in the initial weeks following surgery, due to swelling and healing. However, these changes are typically temporary, and the voice usually returns to normal once recovery is complete.
It is rare, but tonsils can regrow if some tissue is left behind during surgery. This regrowth, however, is usually minimal and does not cause the same issues as before. If symptoms do return, a follow-up consultation with an ENT specialist is recommended.
