When comparing Gurgaon packages for tonsillectomy, check whether each quote includes:

• Packing, splints or dressings
• Hospital stay and room category

• Follow-up visits before you fly home

A tonsillectomy takes away the tonsils at the back of the throat, most commonly for repeated tonsillitis, enlarged tonsils blocking breathing or a tonsil abscess (quinsy).

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust names repeated sore throats that do not settle with antibiotics, enlarged tonsils blocking the airway and causing severe snoring, and quinsy among the common reasons in adults.

It is done under general anaesthetic through the mouth, takes about 30 minutes and leaves no outside cuts, and adults normally stay one night.

The trust advises planning 10 to 14 days off work, as the throat is normally sore for about 10 days, and taking painkillers before meals makes a normal diet easier.

Bleeding is the most serious risk, with about 1 in 10 adults readmitted for bleeding and about 1 in 50 needing a second operation, and aspirin should be avoided.

Flying home: cabin pressure changes can cause pain or trouble after ear, nose or sinus surgery, so the ENT surgeon checks you are fit to fly at the review appointment.

A Gurgaon quote for tonsillectomy is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.

• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Technique: cold steel, coblation or other.
• Patient: child or adult.
• Stay: day case or one night.
• Recovery: about two weeks.

Confirm whether the Gurgaon estimate includes the surgeon, theatre, stay, any lab tests and follow-up appointments.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Haryana adopted the national Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 in 2018, starting with larger private hospitals, so you can ask a Gurgaon hospital for its registration under the Act.
