Adenoidectomy in children

Adenoidectomy – removal of the pharyngeal tonsil

Adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of an enlarged pharyngeal tonsil (the so-called third tonsil). It is a common cause of nasal breathing problems in children and can lead to recurrent upper respiratory tract infections and sleep breathing disorders.

Indications for adenoidectomy:
  • Hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil confirmed by fiberoscopy, causing:
  • Chronic or recurrent upper respiratory tract infections
  • Nasal obstruction and mouth breathing
  • Night snoring and sleep apnea
  • Recurrent otitis media and otitis media with effusion
  • Frequent sinusitis
  • Disorders of speech and hearing development in children
  • Hearing problems (e.g. otitis media with effusion)

The course of the operation
  1. Duration of the procedure: 15-20 minutes
  2. Anesthesia – usually general, less frequently local
  3. Tonsil removal – the surgeon cuts out the overgrown tissue
  4. Stopping bleeding – with electrocautery or pressure
  5. Post-operative patient check-up and recovery
Convalescence
  • hospitalization time: 1 day
  • Recovery: 7-10 days
  • Light diet, avoiding hot and hard foods for a few days
  • Avoiding physical exertion for 2 weeks
  • Possible mild sore throat and runny nose for a few days
Possible complications (rare)
  • Postoperative bleeding
  • Infection and fever
  • Temporary changes in voice (open nasalization)

Adenoidectomy is a common, safe and effective procedure that significantly improves nasal breathing, reduces infections and improves the quality of sleep.

If your child has chronic breathing problems, snoring, or ear infections, it is worth consulting an ENT specialist.
