Although tonsillitis in adults is rare, it is often chronic. At this time, the main treatment is tonsillectomy. However, for people over 45 years old, tonsillectomy, although a simple and common technique, still requires extreme caution.

Tonsils act as a “barrier” to protect the body from the invasion of microorganisms through the respiratory tract, so they are susceptible to swelling and inflammation.

Anesthesia for tonsillectomy in adults is gradually becoming the first choice today because of its many outstanding advantages.
