Definitive surgical solution for recurrent tonsillitis, enlarged adenoids, pediatric sleep apnea, and chronic airway obstruction.

## The ENT assessment

Tonsilloadenoidectomy involves the surgical removal of palatine tonsils and adenoids. In children, adenoid and tonsil hypertrophy is the leading cause of mouth breathing, loud snoring, pediatric obstructive sleep apnea, and recurrent middle ear fluid.

In adults, chronically diseased tonsils foster tonsilloliths (tonsil stones), bad breath, and peritonsillar infections. Novus ORL ENT specialists employ gentle micro-techniques ensuring rapid soft-food resumption and low morbidity.

## Concerns we assess

- More than 5–7 severe episodes of tonsillitis per year requiring antibiotics
- Severe tonsil and adenoid enlargement causing airway obstruction and sleep apnea
- Recurrent otitis media with effusion and hearing reduction in young children
- Persistent halitosis and tonsil stones unresponsive to conservative measures
- History of peritonsillar abscess or chronic swallowing difficulty

## Treatment information is general. The choice of treatment and where a procedure takes place are discussed during consultation; describing an operation does not mean it is performed on the clinic premises.

- Immediate cessation of recurrent debilitating throat infections and fever
- Quiet, restful pediatric sleep without dangerous breathing pauses
- Prevention of recurrent ear infections and restoration of clear hearing
- Marked reduction in antibiotic reliance and missed school or workdays

Complete return to school, kindergarten, and full physical activity.

## Common questions

### Does tonsil removal weaken the child's immune system?

No. Chronically infected tonsils lose their protective ability and become a bacterial reservoir. Hundreds of other lymph nodes in the neck preserve full immune defense.

### Can adenoids grow back after removal?

When performed endoscopically by an experienced ENT surgeon, regrowth causing obstruction is extremely rare.

### Why is ice cream recommended after tonsil surgery?

Cool liquids and ice cream promote local vasoconstriction, soothe throat inflammation, and ease swallowing.

### At what age can tonsilloadenoidectomy be safely performed?

In cases of severe sleep apnea, surgery is safely performed from age 2 to 3 onwards based on ENT specialist assessment.
