My son needs to get his tonsils removed and we're considering surgery. Can you tell me what types of tonsil surgeries are available and which one is less painful? Also, how long does recovery usually take after the procedure?

The two main types of tonsillectomy surgery are: Traditional tonsillectomy: Both tonsils are completely removed. Intracapsular tonsillectomy: The surgeon removes all the affected tonsil tissue, but leaves a small layer to protect the throat muscles underneath.
