About Adenoidectomy

An adenoidectomy is a common surgical procedure performed by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist to remove the adenoids. These are small pads of tissue located at the back of the nasal passage, near the tonsils. While part of the immune system in childhood, enlarged or infected adenoids can cause significant problems. The procedure is typically recommended for children but can be performed on adults when necessary. It is often done to relieve chronic nasal obstruction, recurrent ear infections, sleep apnea, or persistent sinusitis. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and involves the surgeon removing the adenoid tissue through the mouth, with no external incisions. It is a safe and effective solution for improving breathing, sleep quality, and overall ear and sinus health.

How to prepare

Consultation with the ENT surgeon for a thorough medical history and physical examination, which may include a nasal endoscopy.
Disclosure of all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements; some (like aspirin or ibuprofen) may need to be stopped.
Fasting (no food or drink) for a specified period, typically 6-8 hours before the surgery, as directed by the anesthesiologist.
Arranging for transportation home and for post-operative care, especially for children.
Pre-operative blood tests or other assessments as required by the surgeon or anesthesiologist.
