Tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of tonsils on top at both sides of the throat. The tonsils are lymphatic nodes that help filter germs like bacteria, viruses, or other harmful organisms that enter the body. 

Types of Tonsillectomy

Two significant types of tonsillectomy can be classified with the following names. 

• Traditional Tonsillectomy - In this extracapsular procedure of removing tonsils from the affected area, the procedure also includes removing the capsule and the tonsils. 
• Intracapsular Tonsillectomy - In this type of tonsillectomy, the capsule is left behind, and the procedure only focuses on removing the tonsils from the affected area.

• Electrocautery Tonsil removal surgery - This procedure effectively burns down the tonsils, carefully removes the tonsils, and stops any bleeding. Another smoothly done surgical technique. 
• Bipolar Radiofrequency ablation - Through the transferrin got, energy to the tonsil tissues, they are separated and destroyed without any pain. 
• Ultrasonic Dissection - A high vibrational scalpel blade is used, and this vibrational frequency reaches the tissue, and at the same time, the tissue is carefully cut by the surgeon. 
• Microdebrider Tonsillectomy - under this procedure, the surgeon uses special devices and shaves the tonsil tissues.
