summary

Tonsils play an important role. Unfortunately, some people suffer from tonsillar diseases. In order to recover, they have to choose tonsillectomy. Surgical treatment is also easy to cause complications, let's talk about tonsillectomy.

What is tonsillectomy

First, chronic tonsillitis not only causes infection of adjacent organs due to its own inflammation spread, such as otitis media, sinusitis, larynx, trachea, bronchitis, etc., but also is one of the common infection foci in human body, which is closely related to acute nephritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, heart disease, long-term low fever and other diseases. Therefore, in addition to anti infection treatment, surgery should be performed when necessary.

Second, surgical treatment should also be considered when tonsillar hypertrophy or tumor occurs. There are two kinds of operation: stripping and squeezing. Dissection is usually performed under local or general anesthesia. After anesthesia, the tonsil was pulled by tonsil forceps, and the mucosa of the free edge of palatoglossal arch and part of the palatopharyngeal arch were cut with a curved knife. The tonsil membrane was separated by tonsillectomy, and the tonsil was dissociated from top to bottom. Finally, the lower root of tonsil, tonsil and the whole tonsil were excised by snare.

Third: in recent years, the use of low-temperature plasma assisted tonsillectomy can reduce the bleeding and shorten the operation time. Squeezing method is to use a special tonsil squeezing knife to insert the tonsil from the lower level, rotate the knife ring to insert the tonsil from the back and the upper level, with the help of the other hand, press the tonsil into the knife ring, tighten the handle, quickly twist and pull the tonsil off.

When anesthesia before surgery, patients will not have a lot of pain, complete resection will restore health.
