👉 The Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove and remove infected or diseased tonsils from the throat. This procedure is often performed in children, but it can also be done on adults if necessary. It is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves cutting through the soft tissues around the tonsils with an instrument called a "tongill knife." The result of the surgery is usually a scar that heals quickly and takes about 2-3 days to heal completely.
