Modern Tonsillectomy
Are you or your child suffering from recurrent tonsillitis, sore throat, or enlarged tonsils? At Chirkoz Polyclinic Bratislava, we perform tonsil removal (tonsillectomy) using a modern Coblation method, which is gentler, more precise, and associated with less bleeding.
We are a specialized ENT facility providing safe surgical solutions with a focus on patient comfort and fast recovery.
When is tonsil removal necessary?
Tonsils are part of the immune system. However, if they become repeatedly inflamed or chronically enlarged, they can cause serious health problems.
Most common reasons for surgery
- recurrent tonsillitis (multiple times a year)
- chronic tonsil inflammation
- pus plugs on the tonsils
- unpleasant bad breath
- difficulty swallowing
- nighttime snoring or breathing pauses
- peritonsillar abscess
If antibiotic treatment does not provide long-term improvement, surgical tonsil removal (tonsillectomy) is recommended.
Coblation – a modern method of tonsil removal
At our polyclinic, we use Coblation technology, which operates in a low-temperature plasma field.
