👉 Glossectomy is a surgical procedure that removes a part of the tongue (glossopharynx) from the back of the mouth. This can be done to treat conditions such as laryngitis, pharyngitis, or any other condition affecting the back part of the throat, including allergies and infections. The glossectomy is usually performed under local anesthesia and requires general anesthesia, so it's a more invasive procedure compared to traditional surgical procedures like a tracheotomy.
