Adenoidectomy

Adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove inflamed or enlarged adenoids.

These are small pads of tissue located behind the back of your nose, near the top of your throat.

Why remove them?

Enlarged adenoids can block your airway, leading to various problems, especially in children:

• Difficulty breathing through the nose: Mouth breathing becomes common, leading to facial deformities and dry mouth.
• Snoring and sleep apnea: Disrupted sleep can affect growth and development.
• Frequent ear infections: Blocked Eustachian tubes, connecting the middle ear to the back of the nose, increase the risk of infections.
• Recurrent sinusitis: Blocked sinuses lead to inflammation and pain.
