Adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the adenoid vegetation (pharyngeal tonsils), located in the upper part of the pharynx, behind the nasal cavity. This procedure is frequently indicated in children, but it may also be performed in selected adult cases.

The surgery is usually performed transorally (through the mouth), without external incisions, with direct visualization, under general anesthesia.

Component	Applied Procedure
Adenoid vegetation (pharyngeal tonsils)	Complete or partial resection
Pharyngeal mucosa	Protection, coagulation, or local hemostasis
Surgical instruments	Curette, electric loop, suction system

Role of the Procedure:

Clearing the upper airways by removing nasopharyngeal obstruction
Improving nasal breathing and sleep quality
Reducing episodes of recurrent otitis media and upper respiratory infections
Enhancing hearing by restoring Eustachian tube function
Supporting proper speech development and healthy sleep in children

Indications:

Nasopharyngeal obstruction with chronic mouth breathing
Recurrent episodes of serous or suppurative otitis media
Sleep disorders (snoring, sleep apnea)
Recurrent or persistent sinusitis
Hearing disturbances associated with conductive hearing loss
Impaired speech development or feeding difficulties in children

Patient Preparation:

Proper patient preparation plays a key role in the success of the procedure:

Complete ENT evaluation: otolaryngology consultation, nasopharyngeal endoscopy (if needed)
Preoperative investigations: complete blood count, coagulation tests, ECG, pre-anesthetic assessment
Medication disclosure: Inform your doctor about any ongoing medications, including supplements or herbal treatments
Medications affecting coagulation: Discontinue approximately 14 days prior, if advised by the physician
Fasting: Avoid food and liquids for at least 6 hours before the procedure

The Procedure:

The adenoid tissue is removed through the oral cavity without external incisions. Depending on the case, classic curettes, electric loops, or an endoscopic system may be used. Local hemostatic techniques are applied to prevent bleeding.
