Tonsillectomy

Say goodbye to chronic sore throats, snoring, and uncomfortable swallowing with a virtually painless tonsillectomy in Dubai. At HealthHub Clinics, our expert ENT surgeons use advanced Coblation technology to perform tonsil removal surgeries that are quick, safe, and minimally invasive. Whether for a child or an adult, our coblation tonsillectomy technique ensures a bloodless procedure with a faster recovery and far less pain than traditional methods. We’re committed to helping you breathe easy, sleep better, and live free from the discomfort of problematic tonsils.

What Is a Tonsillectomy?

A tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the tonsils – two small glands located at the back of the throat. This common ENT procedure is typically recommended when tonsils become a source of chronic infection or interfere with breathing. Tonsillectomy is usually performed under general anesthesia, and thanks to modern technology like coblation, it’s now a fast, safe, and gentle procedure often done as a same-day surgery.

Who Needs a Tonsillectomy?

Common reasons include:

  • Recurrent tonsillitis: Frequent throat infections despite medical treatment.
  • Obstructive sleep apnea and snoring: Enlarged tonsils blocking airflow during sleep.
  • Difficulty swallowing or breathing: Chronically enlarged tonsils narrowing the airway.
  • Tonsillar abscesses or persistent tonsil stones: Causing pain or bad breath.

If you or your child suffers from any of the above, a tonsillectomy may offer lasting relief.

Coblation Tonsillectomy – A Modern, Gentle Approach

At HealthHub, we use Coblation technology to perform tonsillectomies that are virtually bloodless and significantly less painful. Coblation uses low-temperature radiofrequency energy to dissolve tonsil tissue precisely, with minimal damage to surrounding areas.

Benefits of Coblation Tonsillectomy:

  • Minimal bleeding during and after surgery.
  • Reduced pain compared to traditional techniques.
  • Faster recovery time – many patients resume normal eating and activities within days.
  • Lower risk of complications, especially in children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is tonsillectomy only for children, or can adults have it too?

Tonsillectomy is commonly performed on children, but adults can also benefit greatly. In adults, the surgery is often done for persistent throat infections, obstructive sleep apnea, or when enlarged tonsils cause ongoing discomfort or health issues. While recovery may take slightly longer in adults, the long-term relief from chronic symptoms is often worth it. At HealthHub, we individualize the approach based on your age and condition to ensure a smooth outcome.

The most frequent reasons include repeated bacterial or viral tonsillitis, tonsil-related sleep issues such as loud snoring or apnea, and physical obstruction of the throat due to enlarged tonsils. Additionally, if tonsils harbor debris (tonsil stones) or become abscessed, removal may be necessary. Tonsillectomy helps reduce missed school or work days and minimizes antibiotic use over time.

Recovery from a coblation tonsillectomy is generally smoother than traditional methods. Most children are back to school within a week, while adults may take up to 10 days to feel fully recovered. During recovery, patients may experience mild throat soreness, which is easily managed with prescribed pain relief. Soft foods and hydration are encouraged, and patients are usually able to resume regular eating habits within a few days. At HealthHub, we monitor recovery closely to ensure optimal healing.
