Intervention can be carried out with narcozitation (in childhood anyway) or with local anaesthetic. From these two opportunities patients have to choose based on the received information, discussion with doctors. Surgeon removes the extended mucosae with the help of a special optical equipment so-called endoscope through nostril beside eye check. After surgery - carried out either in local or general anaesthesia - for monitoring reason one night must be spent at the clinic.

On the day of the surgery, the patient signs the consent form, then the necessary lab tests are done. Surgery may be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. In children the procedure is always performed under general anesthesia. Tonsils are removed from the muscle-bed using either conventional surgical tools or laser. If surgery is performed under general anesthesia, the mouth is kept open using an appropriate tool, which partly rests on the front teeth, but is mainly supported by a metal desk that is independent of the body. Hemostasis is achieved with sutures for larger vessels or with laser for smaller vessels. After surgery - carried out either in local or general anaesthesia - for monitoring reason one night must be spent at the clinic.

The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The procedure consists of removing the extremely oversized uvula, and constructing a new one from the tissue of the loose and large soft palate. In order to avoid wound infection, intra- or post-operative bleeding and due to the extraordinarily fine surgical technique, the procedure is performed with laser.
