Does anyone know if a tonsillectomy can be done laproscopically??

She's having the surgery due to chronic strep throat -

My daughter is 18 and wants to have the surgery over her spring break - will she feel up to returning to class 10 days post op - she also goes to college 3 hours away from home and lives in a dorm -

Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions

i had a tonsilectomy 2 years ago & took numerous infections afterwards because i went back to work too soon. the rest period they advise should definatley be followed. i lost 2 stone as a result of continual infections & hospitalisation & missed my kids teribly. it may be because i was 25 at the time but i would not recommend she rest for as long as they say.
