Tonsillectomy- What to Expect

By ACA | March 28, 2023

In this video, ENT physician Pao Vang, M.D., with Mayo Clinic Health System, discusses what a patient can expect to happen during a tonsillectomy and also the typical recovery period following the procedure.

A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the tonsils. The tonsils are part of the immune system and help fight off infections, but sometimes they become swollen and infected, causing discomfort and difficulty in swallowing.

Mayo Clinic Health System offers comprehensive treatment and care for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) conditions, with ENT specialists who work collaboratively to provide coordinated care close to home.
Pao Vang, M.D., is a physician in the Otolaryngology (ENT) Department at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
