Adenoidectomy
Adenoidectomy at MEDVOYAGER
At MEDVOYAGER, we offer adenoidectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the adenoids. Adenoids are small lumps of tissue located at the back of the nasal passage that play a role in the immune system. However, when they become enlarged or chronically infected, they can cause breathing difficulties, recurrent infections, and other complications. Our experienced ENT specialists ensure a safe and effective removal of adenoids to improve overall health and quality of life.
Understanding Adenoidectomy
Adenoidectomy involves the surgical removal of the adenoids, typically performed under general anesthesia. This procedure is commonly recommended for children, but it can also be necessary for adults in some cases. Enlarged or infected adenoids can block airflow through the nasal passages and contribute to ear infections, sleep apnea, and sinus problems.
Indications for Adenoidectomy
- Chronic Infections: Persistent infections that do not respond to medical treatment.
- Breathing Difficulties: Blocked nasal passages leading to mouth breathing and snoring.
- Recurrent Ear Infections: Frequent middle ear infections (otitis media) caused by blocked Eustachian tubes.
- Sinus Problems: Chronic sinusitis or nasal congestion due to enlarged adenoids.
- Sleep Apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea caused by airway blockage from enlarged adenoids.
