Tonsil and adenoid problems are especially common in childhood. These children have very frequent upper respiratory tract infections. They usually sleep with their mouths open, and sometimes snoring accompanies this picture. Because of mouth breathing during sleep, poor dental hygiene, tooth decay and bad breath may be present. In advanced cases, the adenoids can also make it difficult for the child to breathe. Today, adenoid and tonsil surgery can be performed easily with the Thermal Welding method.
Is Tonsil Surgery Necessary in Children?
The decision for tonsil surgery is based on frequently recurring tonsil infections and serious complaints. Before deciding on surgery right away, the severity with which the child is affected by this condition should be determined. Thanks to the Thermal Welding method, tonsil surgery in children is performed safely, painlessly, without bleeding and in a very short time. This method eliminates the risk of damaging the surrounding tissues.
When Should Adenoid Surgery Be Performed?
Before adenoid or tonsil surgery, it is important for the child to undergo a detailed examination and tests. These surgeries should be performed if they are truly deemed necessary. Surgery may be considered when enlarged adenoids significantly affect the child's breathing. Adenoid surgery is a painless operation that takes about 20 minutes and can significantly improve the patient's quality of life and the related illnesses they experience. Before surgery, your doctor will establish whether surgery is necessary using certain tests and imaging methods and will provide you with detailed information.
