Tonsil surgery
Tonsillectomy is one of the most common ENT procedures performed on both children and adults.
In adults, the main indications are recurrent angina and cryptic, caseous tonsils.
Angina is characterized by a variable combination of fever, pharyngeal or “throat” pain and burning sensations on swallowing, often accompanied by swollen lymph nodes, often in the neck.
These symptoms, repeated several times a year, define recurrent tonsillitis and call for a tonsillectomy, an operation to remove the tonsils.
Tonsillectomy is an outpatient procedure with no external scarring.
At the Princess Grace Hospital, this procedure is performed using a state-of-the-art instrument: the plasma coblation probe.
This radiofrequency probe significantly reduces post-operative pain, and also enables very precise dissection of the tonsils.
Consultation: During the consultation, Dr BERGUIGA will examine you and explain the procedure.
Post-operative care: Post-operative care is marked by an appropriate diet and medical treatment to effectively control pain.
