Treatment of cryptic tonsils and tonsillar hypertrophy

Using surgical ultrasound is the best and less painful way to treat patients with enlarged tonsils, cryptic tonsils and bad breath, or snoring.

     Classic tonsillectomy is one of the bloodiest and most painful procedures, due also to the way it is performed - with a scalpel and sutures in extremely vascular tissue, such as the tonsillar tissue.
Bleeding can occur from the 1st to the 14th postoperative day, as well as during the surgery itself. The pain is also very severe for the patient, from the first hour up to 10-12 days after the procedure, mainly due to the sutures.

     The new method of treating the tonsils with ultrasound ensures bloodless and painless procedures.
More specifically, because ultrasound works through high-frequency vibrations, it cauterizes all blood vessels up to 0.5 cm in diameter - larger vessels are not found in the tonsils - meaning that not even a drop of blood is lost during the procedure.

     There is also no bleeding during the postoperative period. As for pain, during the first two days after ultrasound surgery there is almost no pain, while on the third postoperative day, pain appears that resembles pharyngitis. It is clearly milder than the pain following classic tonsillectomy and can be managed with simple painkillers. This pain may last until the 5th postoperative day and then gradually disappears.

     Another advantage of ultrasound surgery is that, due to the very short duration of the procedure as well as its painless and bloodless nature, the patient can return home within just a few hours after the end of the procedure, without requiring further hospitalization in the clinic.
This results in a reduction in the overall cost of hospitalization and a faster recovery for the patient.
