Overview
Tonsillectomy removes the tonsils to treat recurrent tonsillitis, tonsillar hypertrophy causing sleep apnea, and tonsil stones (tonsilloliths). Coblation tonsillectomy reduces bleeding and post-operative pain for faster recovery. Korean ENT surgeons are experienced with both pediatric and adult tonsillectomy at significantly lower costs than Western countries.

Is tonsillectomy recommended for adults with recurrent tonsillitis in Korea?
Korean ENT guidelines recommend tonsillectomy for adults with 7 or more tonsillitis episodes in a year, or 5+ episodes per year for 2 consecutive years. Chronic tonsillitis causing abscess formation, tonsil stones, or obstructive sleep symptoms are also strong indications. Adult tonsillectomy recovery takes slightly longer (2 weeks) than in children, but outcome success rates are comparable.
