Do you have recurring sore throats, tonsil stones or bad breath?
A tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils) can be an effective solution if you experience recurring sore throats, bad breath and tonsil plugs, discomfort due to large tonsils, or breathing problems in the form of sleep apnea (pauses in breathing while you sleep).
At Charlottenlund Private Hospital, we perform several hundred of these operations annually and have Denmark's greatest experience and highest expertise within the procedure, as we operate on a large number of patients on behalf of the Capital Region through our tender agreement - but also on a large number through private health insurance.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 30-45 minutes. The tonsils are removed surgically – we do not use laser or coblation, as these methods have not been proven to be safer or gentler.
Aftercare and healing
• Most people only experience mild discomfort the first few days
• The pain may increase after a few days and last up to 10-14 days
• Most people can return to work/school after 10-14 days
We recommend that you refrain from physical activity during the healing period, and that travel and other planned activities should be avoided.
Our specialist doctors ensure that you receive thorough information about the aftercare and pain relief on the day of surgery.
