Knowing the risks and complications of an operation is crucial preparation if something were to go wrong after the event.

This video describes the various risks and complications of tonsillectomy operations and gives helpful tips to overcome them. This is similar to what I say to my patients prior to a tonsillectomy when I'm consenting them. Obviously this video cannot be used for consenting purposes, it should just be used for information only. For example I did not mention about temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or injury to the glossopharyngeal nerve, primary bleeds, residual tissue etc. Also I cannot provide patient specific consenting information. Even so, I hope you find the content useful

I am writing a series of free email newsletters which explains all about the tonsillectomy operation. What tonsils are, what they are used for, why would you want to remove them, how to remove them etc. If you would like to join the mailing list please click on the link below and once I have written the series I will send them to you for free.
