A tonsillectomy was a medical procedure in which the tonsils were removed from a patient.

Some used this term as a metaphor for flirtatious kissing. In the holographic novel Photons Be Free, the character of Marseilles told the user of the program that other women were waiting for "tonsillectomies". (VOY: "Author, Author")
