Postoperative Care For Adenoid Removal Surgery

Adenoidectomy Operation in İstanbul

Adenoid is a lymphoid tissue located at the back of the nasal cavity. In children with adenoid hypertrophy, mouth open sleep and various ear problems may occur.

How is adenoidectomy performed?

Adenoidectomy is performed under general anesthesia. When the patient is lying on his back, the head is moved backwards, and after the automatic mouth retractor is placed, a thin probe is inserted through the nose into the oral cavity. By stretching the catheter, the soft palate moves forward and upward. The nasal flesh is scraped with tools called adenotom. In addition, adenoidectomy (shaver-adenoidectomy) can be performed with endoscopic method and shaver. Unlike other surgical procedures, most of the techniques used in adenoidectomy operations are similar.
