What is Tonsils Removal Surgery (Tonsillectomy)?
A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils in the back of the throat. The tonsils are part of the lymphatic system and help protect you from infection by trapping germs that may enter through your nose or mouth. Sometimes during tonsillectomy, the adenoids, also part of the lymphatic system, may be removed as well.
