Adenotonsillectomy remains a standard and effective procedure for children and adults with obstructive symptoms or recurrent infection. At our centre, we assess the need through clinical history, sleep and breathing evaluation, and, where necessary, sleep studies to quantify obstruction.

For children with snoring, sleep disordered breathing, or repeated throat infections, removal of tonsils and adenoids can markedly improve sleep quality, behaviour, and daytime energy. Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia with meticulous haemostasis to reduce the risk of postoperative bleeding. Pain control is central to recovery, and we use multimodal analgesia tailored to age and comorbidities so children can return to normal eating and activity more quickly.

For adults with large tonsils causing airway problems or chronic tonsillitis, we individualise the approach and discuss options including partial tonsillectomy where appropriate. Postoperative care includes clear instructions on hydration, analgesia, and signs of bleeding, and early follow-up to ensure complete recovery. Families appreciate straightforward pathways and child-friendly nursing that help make the hospital experience less stressful.

Key benefits:
● Improves sleep and breathing in obstructive cases.
● Reduces the frequency of throat infections.
● Rapid symptom relief with structured pain control.
● Short hospital stay and quick return to normal activity.
● Clear postoperative guidance reduces complications.
