Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy
Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy:
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are surgical procedures that involve the removal of the tonsils and adenoids respectively. Tonsils and adenoids are part of the body’s immune system and help to fight off infections, but sometimes they can become enlarged and cause problems such as sleep apnea, difficulty swallowing, and frequent infections. In such cases, a tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy may be recommended.
At our clinic, we offer safe and effective tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy procedures to help patients alleviate their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Our skilled and experienced ENT surgeon, Dr. Seemab Shaikh, uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to perform these procedures with precision and care.
Before the surgery, Dr. Seemab Shaikh will conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history and physical condition to determine the best course of treatment. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the case.
After the procedure, patients can expect some discomfort and pain, which can be managed with pain medication and a soft food diet. Dr. Seemab Shaikh will provide detailed instructions on post-operative care and follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
At our clinic, we understand that undergoing surgery can be a daunting experience, and we strive to provide a supportive and compassionate environment for our patients.
