Dr. Archana Jhawar performs advanced child-friendly tonsil and adenoid surgery in Navi Mumbai at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Koparkhairane.

Combined Tonsil and adenoid surgery in Navi Mumbai may be recommended when both tissues become enlarged or chronically infected, creating a dual obstruction in the upper airway.
Or cause persistent symptoms or complications that do not improve with appropriate medical treatment.
Your ENT specialist may advise combined surgery if your child has:
Tonsils and adenoids are part of the same lymphoid tissue network and are located close together in the upper respiratory tract.
Because they are exposed to the same viruses and bacteria, they frequently become enlarged or chronically infected at the same time.
When both contribute to airway obstruction, disturbed sleep, or recurrent infections, treating only one may not completely relieve all of your child’s symptoms.
Combined tonsil and adenoid surgery allows an ENT surgeon to address both problems during a single operation. This ensures your child only needs to undergo general anaesthesia once.
If your child requires surgery only for enlarged adenoids, learn more about our Coblation Adenoid Surgery or Microdebrider Adenoidectomy procedures.
Combined tonsil and adenoid surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, so your child remains asleep and comfortable throughout the procedure.
The operation is carried out entirely through the mouth, leaving no external cuts or visible scars. The enlarged tonsils are carefully removed, followed by the removal of the enlarged adenoid tissue from behind the nose under direct video endoscopic vision.
Dr. Archana Jhawar may use advanced techniques such as Coblation or a Microdebrider at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Koparkhairane to achieve precise tissue removal with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
The surgery usually takes 45–60 minutes, after which your child is closely monitored in the recovery area before being shifted to the ward.
When enlarged tonsils and adenoids are responsible for your child’s symptoms, combined surgery can provide long-term improvements in breathing, sleep, and overall growth.
Breathe More Comfortably: Helps relieve upper airway obstruction, making it easier for your child to breathe through the nose.
Sleep Better: Helps reduce loud snoring, restless sleep, and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, allowing more restful sleep.
Fewer Throat Infections: Children with recurrent tonsillitis often experience fewer episodes of sore throat and throat infections after surgery.
Better Ear Health: In children with enlarged adenoids, surgery may reduce recurrent ear infections and persistent fluid behind the eardrum.
Better Daytime Energy and Concentration: Better breathing and restful sleep often lead to improved energy levels, concentration, behaviour, and participation in school and daily activities.
The expected benefits vary from child to child and depend on the underlying condition and the reason surgery is recommended.

Yes. Tonsil and adenoid surgery is commonly performed ENT procedures in children. When carried out by an experienced ENT surgeon under general anaesthesia, it is generally safe.
As with any surgery, your surgeon will explain the benefits, risks, and recovery before the procedure.
Yes. Your child can usually start with small sips of water or clear liquids soon after surgery, followed by soft, cool foods as advised by your ENT surgeon.
A soft diet including items like ice cream, cold milkshakes, yogurt, and mashed soft foods helps soothe the throat walls during the initial recovery day.
Most children recover well within 7–10 days. Mild throat pain, reduced appetite, and discomfort while swallowing are common during the first few days and gradually improve with medicines, fluids, and a soft diet.
No. Removing enlarged or chronically infected tonsils and adenoids does not usually weaken your child’s immune system. Other lymphoid tissues continue to help the body fight infections.
Tonsils do not usually grow back after a complete tonsillectomy. In some children, a small amount of adenoid tissue may remain and can rarely enlarge again, but this is uncommon.
