What is laser-assisted tonsil ablation?

Laser tonsil ablation is a minimally-invasive procedure that can decrease the size of tonsils using a laser, rather than surgery. Reducing tonsil size opens the airway wider, allowing more oxygen to flow freely without obstruction. Tonsil ablation treatment can provide relief for symptoms of severe snoring or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

What does laser-assisted tonsil ablation involve?

If you choose to undergo tonsil ablation treatment with New York ENT, doctors will use laser technology to target the tonsils and vaporize the outer surface of the tonsils. The laser will not only reduce the size of the tonsils, but will eliminate any throat infections that are present on the tonsils as well. The lasers used are state-of-the-art with precision and control that minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, which increases recovery time for the patient.

What are the advantages of undergoing laser-assisted tonsil ablation?
