In some children, around the age of 4-5, tonsils start to become a source of infection rather than protecting them by growing too much due to frequent infections, and sometimes due to their large size, they prevent breathing and eating and cause respiratory arrest at night. In these and the following cases, the tonsils should be surgically removed.

Recurrence of tonsillitis more than 3-5 times a year in children and more than 2 times in adults
Sleep apnea
Tonsil abscess
Suspicion of malignant tonsil tumor
Excessive tonsil enlargement that causes difficulty in breathing and swallowing
Chronic tonsillitis that causes breath / bad breath and swelling of the lymph nodes,
Chronic tonsillitis seen in people with heart rheumatism, heart valve inflammation or kidney inflammation
Adenoid and tonsil enlargements that disrupt the jaw structure

The tonsils are removed from the mouth, which is opened with a special instrument under general anesthesia, by stripping the surrounding muscle and covering. Subsequently, bleeding control is performed and the surgery is terminated. Classical techniques such as scissors and scalpels can be used to remove the tonsils, as well as electrical burning of the tissue or similar technologies.
