PreOpĀ® Patient Education Tonsillectomy:

“Your doctor has recommended that you – or your child – undergo surgery to remove you or your child’s tonsils. But what does that actually mean?
Your tonsils are located in the throat at the back of your mouth – one on either side of the uvula. Together, your tonsils work to help fight infection entering the body through the mouth. They are part of your immune system.
Occasionally tonsils themselves become infected. This condition is called tonsillitis.”
