A member asked:
How long does a tonsil and adenoidectomy take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
20-30 minutes.: The surgery itself is usually around 20-30 minutes, but the time needed for anesthesia--going to sleep and waking up--is about the same. Therefore, total time can be 45-60 min in the operating room.
