Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy (T&A) Surgery at SSMC
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, commonly referred to as T&A surgery, is a procedure frequently performed to remove the tonsils and adenoids—small glands located on each side of the throat and at the top of the throat behind the nose, respectively. At Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC) in the UAE, our team of highly skilled otolaryngologists, who are board-certified in North America and Europe, specializes in this procedure to address breathing and swallowing difficulties in children.
How is T&A Surgery Performed?
T&A is a minimally invasive procedure conducted under general anesthesia. The surgery does not require any external incisions, as the tonsils and adenoids can be easily accessed by simply opening the child’s mouth. This allows the surgeon to effectively examine and remove the tonsils and adenoid glands.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Our expert surgeons utilize specialized surgical tools that employ either heat or sound waves to remove the tissue and control bleeding. These advanced technologies are designed to minimize postoperative bleeding and pain, making the procedure safer and more comfortable for young patients.
