When is a tonsillectomy recommended?
Removal of the palatine tonsils (tonsillectomy) is recommended in the following cases:
- recurrent tonsillitis (several episodes per year)
- chronic sore throat or focal infection
- difficulty swallowing or a persistent lump-in-the-throat sensation
- sleep-disordered breathing, snoring
- airway obstruction due to enlarged tonsils
If these symptoms occur, surgery may provide a long-term solution.
What is the BiZact device?
BiZact is a modern bipolar electrosurgical device developed specifically for tonsillectomy procedures. It enables precise tissue cutting while simultaneously sealing blood vessels, making the intervention more controlled and less invasive.
The device uses intelligent energy delivery, ensuring that only the necessary amount of thermal effect reaches the surrounding tissues. This reduces tissue damage and contributes to a more comfortable postoperative period and faster recovery.
Advantages of BiZact technology
The advanced BiZact device offers several benefits compared to traditional techniques:
Minimal bleeding
Blood vessels are sealed during cutting, allowing for an almost bloodless procedure.
Gentle tissue handling
Only the necessary level of heat is applied, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Less pain
Reduced tissue trauma typically results in milder postoperative pain.
Faster recovery
Patients can return to normal eating habits and daily activities sooner.
Shorter procedure time
A quicker surgery reduces anesthesia time and overall physical stress.
How is a BiZact tonsillectomy performed?
Procedure steps:
- General anesthesia
- Mouth opening with a specialized instrument
- Removal of the tonsils using the BiZact device
- Simultaneous hemostasis
- Postoperative monitoring
The procedure is typically short, lasting approximately 20 minutes.
What to expect after surgery
The recovery period varies individually, but generally:
- sore throat may occur for a few days
- temporary difficulty swallowing is possible
- rare postoperative bleeding may occur (most commonly around days 7–10)
Following surgery, patients spend one night in our facility, where continuous medical supervision ensures a safe postoperative period.
For pediatric patients, we provide the option for a parent to stay overnight. Parental presence significantly reduces anxiety, provides a sense of security, and supports a calmer, more balanced recovery.
With BiZact technology, symptoms are typically milder and shorter in duration, making the healing process more comfortable.
Preoperative examinations
For a safe procedure, the following are required:
- ENT specialist examination
- laboratory tests
- anesthesiology consultation
- depending on age: ECG and chest X-ray
Frequently Asked Questions
Is tonsillectomy dangerous?
Tonsillectomy is a routine procedure, but like any surgery, it carries risks. Modern technologies such as BiZact significantly reduce the likelihood of complications.
When can I eat after surgery?
Drinking is allowed approximately 2 hours after surgery, followed by soft, puréed foods. Most patients gradually return to a normal diet within a few days, often faster than with traditional techniques. Full recovery typically takes 14 days.
Can BiZact technology be used in children?
Yes, it is suitable for both children and adults.
