Advanced Adenoidectomy Surgery

Adenoidectomy is a simple procedure that removes the adenoid glands - small tissue masses located at the back of the throat. Parents should know that doctors usually perform this surgery on children between 1 and 7 years old. Several important reasons lead doctors to recommend this surgery. They suggest adenoidectomy to treat otitis media with effusion, chronic adenoiditis, or obstructive sleep apnea. 

Surgeons operate through the mouth, so they don't need to make external cuts. Patients recover completely within 1 to 2 weeks. Modern surgical techniques have reduced complications by a lot, and postoperative bleeding rates are extremely rare.

Indications for Adenoidectomy Surgery

These conditions might need an adenoidectomy at CARE Hospitals:

  • Recurrent ear infections that continue despite antibiotic treatment
  • Sleep-disordered breathing or obstructive sleep apnea
  • Chronic nasal obstruction lasting over three months
  • Persistent sinus infections and nasal drainage
  • Dental malocclusion or facial growth disturbances
  • Cardiopulmonary complications related to upper airway obstruction

Types of Adenoidectomy Surgery Procedures

CARE Hospital offers different adenoidectomy techniques based on your child's needs. 

  • The conventional method uses an adenoid curette, a sharp edged instrument that removes adenoid tissue. 
  • Endoscopic microdebrider assisted adenoidectomy makes use of a powered cutting device giving your doctor the advantage of precise tissue removal while minimising mucosal trauma. 
  • The hospital also provides coblation adenoidectomy, which uses radiofrequency energy to remove tissue with less bleeding and postoperative pain. 

The team selects each technique carefully based on the patient's condition to achieve the best possible results.

Pre-surgery Preparation

Your doctor asks you to go for blood tests and check the presence of clotting issues if any. 

The child must not eat or drink anything after midnight on the night before surgery, even water. The surgery day allows only prescribed medications with a tiny sip of water.

Adenoidectomy Surgical Procedure

The child stays under general anaesthesia during the operation. A small instrument keeps the mouth open so the surgeon can reach the adenoids. The surgeon removes adenoid tissue with specialised tools such as a curette, microdebrider, or uses techniques like electrocautery or coblation. The whole ordeal usually takes 20 to 30 minutes.

Post-surgery Recovery

Your child will need 1-2 weeks to recover fully. 

  • Throat discomfort, nasal drainage, and mild fever up to 101°F are normal in the first week. Cold foods like ice cream help reduce throat soreness. 
  • Children can go back to school within 3-5 days but should stay away from heavy activities for about a week. 
  • The healing process works better when children drink plenty of fluids and eat soft foods.

Complications

The common complications are: 

  • Mild pain or discomfort
  • Voice changes
  • Excessive bleeding 
  • Infection
  • Anaesthesia reactions
  • Long-term velopharyngeal insufficiency (rare)

Benefits of Adenoidectomy Surgery

Your child will likely experience:

  • Better nasal breathing
  • Fewer ear infections
  • Better sleep quality
  • Reduced sinus infections
  • Clearer speech

Insurance Assistance for Adenoidectomy Surgery

Frequently Asked Questions

Adenoidectomy is a surgical operation that removes adenoids (small lumps of tissue located at the back of the throat behind the nose). These adenoids fight infection being a part of the immune system but they can cause problems when they get too large. Doctors usually perform this surgery on children between the ages of one and seven.

Your child will likely feel mild throat discomfort after the surgery. Regular pain relievers can help manage any pain. The good news is that this discomfort usually goes away in a few days as healing continues.

The surgery takes about 20-30 minutes. Your child will receive general anaesthesia and sleep through the entire operation without feeling any pain. The recovery room team will watch your child until they wake up completely before letting you go home.

Complications don't happen often but might include:

  • Bleeding 
  • Infection
  • Reaction to anaesthesia
  • Temporary voice changes

Your child should recover fully in 1-2 weeks. Most children head back to school within 3-5 days if they feel ready. 

Look for these signs:

  • Difficulty breathing through the nose causing mouth breathing or snoring
  • Sleep apnoea (breathing stops and starts during sleep)
  • Recurring ear infections or fluid in the ears
  • Persistent nasal obstruction or sinus infections

Stop giving your child blood-thinning medications, aspirin or ibuprofen a week before surgery. Make sure your child doesn't eat or drink anything after midnight the day before surgery. Give only prescribed medications with a small sip of water on surgery day.

Your child will get general anaesthesia (either IV line or mask). The surgeon uses a small tool to keep your child's mouth open during the procedure and removes adenoid tissue. Your child will stay in recovery until they wake up fully and can breathe comfortably.

Children typically need a check-up 3-4 weeks after the procedure. Your doctor will reach out 4-6 weeks after surgery to check how your recovery progresses. Your child might need extra care if they show signs of heavy bleeding or fever that lasts more than two days.

Start with clear liquids like apple juice, water, and electrolyte-rich beverages. Your child can then try soft foods such as:

  • Yoghurt, pudding, ice cream and sherbet
  • Mashed potatoes, soft-cooked vegetables
  • Applesauce, bananas and other soft fruits
  • Eggs, ground meat and macaroni

Avoid citrus juices, spicy foods or anything crunchy for at least two weeks.

Most candidates are children aged 1-7 who have enlarged adenoids that cause breathing problems. Good candidates include children with ongoing ear infections, chronic sinusitis, sleep apnea, or nasal blockage. The surgery helps children who haven't responded well to antibiotics or other standard treatments.

Plenty of fluids help reduce pain and speed up healing. Give OTC pain relievers when needed. Your child should rest fully for 24 hours, then slowly return to normal activities as comfort allows. Good hydration and proper nutrition remain key to recovery.

Your child will receive general anaesthesia and sleep through the entire procedure. The anesthesiologist might use a mask with anaesthetic gas or an IV line. Your child would not feel any pain during surgery. The anaesthesia team watches vital signs carefully, including heart activity, blood pressure & oxygen levels.

Children with bleeding disorders need special evaluation. The surgery should wait if your child has active respiratory infections. Higher risks exist for children with severe heart or lung conditions. The procedure might not suit children with palatal insufficiency or velopharyngeal incompetence.
