- Tonsillectomy — A surgical procedure involving the complete unilateral or bilateral removal of the palatine tonsils, clinically and structurally indicated in cases of chronic recurrent tonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, or obstructive tonsillar hypertrophy causing sleep apnea. This operative method can be performed using classic cold knife dissection, electrocautery, radiofrequency, or plasma-laser coblation, requiring rigorous postoperative hemostasis.
