ADENOIDECTOMY

Adenoids are glands that are high up in the throat behind the nose and roof of the mouth. These glands can become swollen as they fight off bacteria or viruses. At Gurgaon ENT Centre we have seen that the child may have had enlarged adenoids since birth, or they may have grown too large from repeated infections. Enlarged adenoids can interfere with your child's breathing, especially at night when they are sleeping. Taking out adenoids improves breathing.

Adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the adenoids which is advised by ENT Surgeon at APG Hospital, Purnia for reasons which include impaired breathing through the nose, chronic infections, or recurrent earaches. The surgery is less commonly performed in adults in whom adenoids are considered vestigial and purposeless. It is most often done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Adenoidectomy is generally performed after the child turns 3. An adenoidectomy is performed by a ENT Surgeon who specializes in ear, nose, and throat surgery. The tonsils and/or adenoids can be removed through the mouth so no additional incisions are made except for where the tissues are removed.

TONSILLECTOMY

The tonsils are two clusters of tissue located on both sides of the back of the throat. Adenoids sit high in the throat behind the nose and the roof of the mouth. Tonsils and adenoids are often removed when they become enlarged and block the upper airway, leading to breathing difficulty. They are also removed when recurrence of tonsil infections or strep throat cannot be successfully treated by antibiotics.

Tonsillitis and the need for tonsillectomies are more common in children than adults. However, people of any age can experience trouble with their tonsils and require surgery. Tonsilitis at one time were believed to have a role in child's immunity however now they are considered as vestigial organ like appendix and hence have no role in immunity. Infact enlarged tonsils can cause blockage of airway leading to sleep disorders as well as growth issues in child.
