At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, we specialize in advanced Laser Tonsillectomy, offering patients a minimally invasive option for treating chronic tonsillitis and enlarged tonsils. Our experienced ENT surgeons utilize cutting-edge laser technology to ensure precision, reduced bleeding, and faster recovery.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Laser Tonsillectomy involves the removal of the tonsils using focused laser energy. This technique is especially effective for patients with recurrent infections, sleep-disordered breathing, or enlarged tonsils causing airway obstruction. The laser seals blood vessels as it cuts, minimizing bleeding and postoperative discomfort.

ANESTHESIA & PREPARATION

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. A thorough clinical evaluation, including throat examination and patient history, helps determine the suitability of the laser technique for each individual case.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Using a CO₂ or diode laser, the tonsils are vaporized or excised with high precision. The laser cauterizes as it removes tissue, significantly reducing intraoperative bleeding and postoperative swelling. This technique is particularly beneficial for both pediatric and adult patients who desire quicker recovery.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACHES

Laser Tonsillectomy is inherently less invasive than conventional methods, with smaller incisions and less tissue trauma. The technique offers a cleaner surgical field and shorter operative time, promoting a more comfortable recovery.

CLOSURE & RECOVERY

Since the laser seals vessels during the procedure, sutures are generally not required. Most patients can go home the same day and return to normal activities sooner than with traditional tonsillectomy. Mild throat discomfort and a soft diet are expected during the recovery period.

POST-SURGICAL CARE

Patients are advised to maintain hydration, adhere to pain management protocols, and follow dietary recommendations. Follow-up visits help monitor healing and ensure there are no complications such as infection or bleeding.

CONCLUSION

At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, Laser Tonsillectomy represents a modern, efficient solution for chronic tonsil issues. Our commitment to advanced technology and patient-centered care ensures safe outcomes, minimal discomfort, and faster return to everyday life.
