Definition:

adenoid removal, also called adenoidectomy, is the surgical removal of the adenoid glands from the area between the nose and the back of the throat (nasopharynx). Adenoidectomy is often done in collaboration with the surgical removal of tonsils (tonsillectomy).

If the patient is under general anesthesia, ear-nose-throat (ENT) surgeon inserts a small instrument into the mouth to support the open. The adenoid tissue can be removed with an instrument such as a curette or a microdebrider. Some surgeons may opt to cauterize the adenoids instead of removing the tissue. Bleeding is controlled with packing and cautery.

The patient remains in the recovery room after surgery until he is awake and able to breathe, coughing, and swallowing. Most patients are allowed to go Home Hours later.

NDICATIONS:

Adenoidectomy may be recommended when:

* Enlarged adenoids block the airway, which may be suspected if the child:
Snores excessively o
o Has difficulty breathing through the nose (nasal obstruction)
oa episodes of not breathing during sleep (sleep apnea)
The child has otitis chronic
O Interfere with child's education
o persist despite antibiotic treatment
o Recur 5 or more times in one year
o Recur 3 or more times per year for a period of 2 years

Adenoidectomy may be recommended if the child has chronic or repeated episodes of tonsillitis.

The adenoids normally shrink as the child reaches adolescence, and adults rarely need adenoidectomy.

I hope all this helps!

They can be removed but it is a little more risky in the elderly than in young.
