A member asked:

Where is a tonsilectomy usually done? at a hospital?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes: Some ENT surgeons prefer to do tonsillectomy as an outpatient, meaning in a surgery center. In some cases it may be best to perform the surgery in the hospital. Your doctors should decide what is best for you.
