tonsillectomy
noun
ton·sil·lec·to·my ˌtän(t)-sə-ˈlek-tə-mē 
plural tonsillectomies
: the surgical removal of the tonsils
Did you know?
The tonsils are the areas of tissue that you can see in the mirror on both sides of your throat (not to be confused with the uvula, which hangs down in the middle). Tonsillectomy, the most common surgery performed on children in the U.S., is intended to relieve tonsillitis, or inflammation of the tonsils (usually by strep or staph bacteria). But the fact is, tonsillitis can often be successfully treated with antibiotics, which means that surgery, including the week or two of pain and discomfort that follows it, is generally unnecessary.
Example Sentences

Recent Examples on the Web The tonsillectomy, once common, is generally an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia.
