Frequent sore throats may be a sign that you need a tonsillectomy. Photo Credit 9nong/iStock/Getty Images. Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed on children, but sometimes adults need to have their tonsils removed, too. Infection is the most likely reason your doctor may recommend a tonsillectomy.
A tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the tonsils and is usually performed by an Ear, Nose, Throat Surgeon (otolaryngologist). The tonsils are balls of lymphatic tissue on both sides of the throat, above and behind the tongue. They are part of the immune system, which helps the body fight infection. Some people think that removing the tonsils may hurt the body's immune system, but research does not support this. The adenoids may or may not be removed at the same time (adenoidectomy). Adenoidectomy is not discussed in this topic. A general anesthetic is always used to sedate a child having a tonsillectomy.
