Tonsillectomy – What You Need To Know: Ask Mayo Clinic Health System

Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure where the tonsils are removed from the back of the throat. 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. ENT specialists usually recommend tonsillectomy when the tonsils become a recurring problem.

In this video, Dr. Pao Vang with Mayo Clinic Health System will discuss what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. Mayo Clinic Health System has a team of medical experts who specialize in ENT conditions and provide comprehensive treatment and care.

Tonsillectomies can be performed for various reasons, including frequent infections, breathing issues, and recurring tonsil stones. 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.
