Which Treatment Option is Right for You?

There was a time when most tonsillectomies were performed with a cold knife (scalpel). Many still are, but as you have read there are several tonsillectomy options including low-temperature technologies that have been shown to shorten recovery time and decrease both pain and post-operative use of narcotics when compared to traditional heat-based tonsillectomies.

Deciding which option is best for you or your child is a decision that you and your doctor will make together. The more information you have, the more comfortable you will be with that decision.
