There is no absolute answer as to whether it is better to cut half or all of the tonsils, and the surgical plan needs to be determined based on the specific condition.
Current medical literature correlates that the advantages of a partial tonsillectomy are a faster recovery from a small incision, a lower risk of postoperative bleeding, and less postoperative pain. The advantages of a total tonsillectomy are a lower likelihood of recurrence of inflammation and a shorter operative time.
Therefore, for the treatment of chronic tonsillitis, total tonsillectomy can be preferred, and for the treatment of open mouth breathing and snoring caused by tonsil hypertrophy, partial tonsillectomy can be preferred.
It is recommended to go to a regular hospital, and the specifics should be evaluated by the receiving specialist.
