Operations within throat surgery

On this page you will find information about some of the most common neck surgery operations.

We collaborate with a number of the leading surgeons in each of their fields, so that you are always sure of being treated to the best national and international standards.

Removal of tonsils (tonsillectomy)

Reduction of tonsils (Tonsilotomy)

Partial removal of the tonsils is offered if the tonsils are so large that the patient has difficulty swallowing and eating and has sleep apnea, i.e. that the patient takes breaks in breathing at night. The procedure entails considerably less pain and risks than the total removal of the tonsils and is therefore performed on children as young as two years of age.

Removal of children's polyps (Adenotomy)

Removal of polyps is often carried out in connection with the placement of a drain in the eardrum, as the polyps can be the cause of fluid entering the middle ear and thus the reason why a drain must be placed. Can also be done independently, in children who do not breathe properly through the nose due to the polyps, which can lead to snoring, eating problems (as the child cannot breathe through the nose while eating) and incorrect growth of the facial bones. Only performed on children over two years of age.
