Frequently Asked Questions
Tonsil and Adenoid Surgery (Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy)
Tonsil and adenoid surgery is the surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids. It is typically performed due to frequent infections, snoring, and breathing problems. This procedure helps improve breathing through the mouth and nose.
How does the recovery process work after surgery?
The recovery after surgery may take a few weeks. In the first few days, there may be throat pain and difficulty swallowing, so it is recommended to consume fluids and soft foods. The medications and care instructions provided by the doctor will help accelerate the healing process.
Who is it recommended for?
It is recommended for those who frequently experience tonsil infections, have difficulty breathing due to enlarged adenoids, or suffer from sleep apnea. Surgery is considered when these issues recur and other treatment methods are insufficient. However, a doctor's evaluation is necessary for each patient.
How long does tonsil and adenoid surgery take?
The surgery typically lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour. The duration of the surgery may vary depending on the patient's condition and the surgeon's techniques. It is performed under anesthesia, so the patient is completely asleep.

Patient Reviews
I had surgery for a perforated eardrum 4 years ago upon recommendation. Despite going to many places, no one took a solution-oriented approach to my condition. When I went to her, I will never forget what she told me: "I won't leave you until you're healed." Every time she saw me, her smiling face was enough to calm me. All my fear would disappear before the examination. I’m so glad you exist, Ms. Elif.
Bendişah Kına
She is a valuable physician with expertise in her field, as well as excellent communication skills. After a thorough examination process regarding my nasal septum deviation, she performed a very successful surgery. I would like to thank her and her team for the attention, care, and dedication shown at every stage.

Tolga Gorum
Dr. Elif is an expert who, with her attentiveness and cheerful demeanor, comforts parents. After resisting surgery for my 5-year-old daughter for a long time, we finally had to proceed with a tonsil and adenoid surgery as the inevitable solution. I would like to thank Dr. Elif again for patiently answering all our questions 24/7, for her attention, and for calming us with every concern. I wish her continued success throughout her life.
