Your doctor understands that all medical care benefits from close collaboration between physician and patient -- so be sure to review, with your doctor, all risks and alternatives and make sure you understand the reasons behind the recommendation for this particular procedure.

Now let's talk in detail about the procedure your doctor has recommended. That particular recommendation was based on a number of factors: * the state of your health, * the severity of your condition, * an assessment of alternative treatments or procedures and finally, * the risks associated with doing nothing at all.

And remember, the final decision is up to you. No one can force you to undergo a surgical procedure against your will.

Patient Education

Tonsillectomy is almost always an elective procedure. In other words, your decision to undergo this surgery will most likely be made as a quality of life issue.


The alternative to surgery is simply to live with frequent attacks of tonsillitis and the interruptions to daily life that they can cause.


Fortunately, tonsillectomy is not a complicated procedure and only rarely leads to complications.


Now I'd like to introduce you to another important member of the medical team -- the nurse.
