How did they take tonsils out in the 1920s?
In the 1920s, tonsillectomy was typically performed under general anesthesia, often using ether or nitrous oxide. The procedure involved surgical instruments like a tonsillectomy knife, snare, or scissors to remove the tonsils, which were often done through the mouth. Surgeons would clamp the blood vessels to minimize bleeding, and patients were usually hospitalized for a short period for recovery. Despite being effective, the procedure carried risks such as infection and excessive bleeding, which were more common than today.
