depends on how long surgeon takes, but usually entire anesthetic time is 45 minutes to one hour. The procedure itself does not take long, but the ENT surgeon must take great care to make sure there is no bleeding.
Anesthesia ladys as long as the surgery. As soon as surgery is done. Anestgesia is reversed and patient wakes up. This usually takes few minutes and then patient is taken to recovery room and allowed to fully wake up. This varies from patient to patient. It could be 15 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the amount of pain that the patient is experiencing and need to give narcotics and further observe as well as many other factors.
You will be unconscious for as long as ut takes to remove the tonsils Neville Fernandes
Your anesthetic will last as long as the surgery. A tonsillectomy lasts about 30 minutes, and some may take up to one hour. I suspect your real question is how long will the recovery room stay will last. Your anesthetic will be turned off at the end of the surgical case, and you will awaken in the next 10 to 15 minutes. It may take longer for you to be fully awake and aware. Recovery room stay will average about one hour but dependent upon age and amount of anesthetic required. Hope this helps.
2-4 hours
