This involves removal of the tonsils, which is indicated for recurrent tonsillitis or for sleep disordered breathing, which ranges from snoring with disturbed sleep to obstructive sleep apnoea.
The procedure can be undertaken in children and adults. In children, Mr Carr carries out a 'intracapsular tonsillectomy' which involves shaving down the tonsils with an instrument called a Coblator. The advantage of this over removing the tonsils is that there is less pain and a lower chance of bleeding after the operation.
Mr Carr will discuss this approach with you at your child's appointment.
What to expect
Your appointment will take place in a comfortable setting at either hospital. A detailed history of your symptoms will be taken and a thorough examination, which may include a flexible scope examination or examination under the microscope.
Depending on the nature of your condition, an appropriate management plan will be developed with your wishes being at the centre of it.
