What does tonsillectomy have

summary

No matter what kind of surgery we choose, we all want to know the operation process clearly. Only in this way can we have a better understanding of the operation, and we can also make a corresponding prediction of the success rate of the operation. For example, for tonsillectomy, let's talk about the process of tonsillectomy.

What does tonsillectomy have

First, the tonsil knife was used to cut down from the upper pole of tonsil to the root of lingual palatal arch 1-2mm away from the free edge, and then the incision was extended to cut the pharyngopalatal arch by bypassing the upper pole. However, the incision should not be too deep, only the mucosa should be cut. If the incision is too deep, the superior pharyngeal constrictor will be injured. Or cut into tonsil tissue, are easy to cause bleeding and wound infection.

Second: to peel off the tonsils, the tonsil stripper was used to peel off the lingual palatal arch from the front of the tonsils, then the upper pole of the tonsils was pressed down, the upper part of the tonsils was held by the tonsil grasping forceps, at the same time, the tonsil was pressed down with the stripper to separate it from the tonsil fossa until a small pedicle was left in the lower pole. When stripping, the stripper should not dig deep into the fossa, so as not to damage the superior pharyngeal constrictor or blood vessels and cause bleeding.

Third: remove the snare, put the tonsil grasping forceps in the tonsil snare, hold the tonsil with the tonsil grasping forceps and pull it inward and upward, while put the snare outward and downward around the pedicle, tighten the snare, take out the tonsil, clamp the cotton ball with the tonsil hemostatic forceps and put it into the tonsil fossa to stop bleeding, and check whether the tonsil is complete and whether there is tissue damage.
