How Adenoidectomy is performed
This procedure is mostly performed under general anesthesia. Minimally invasive techniques such as microdebrider or radiofrequency ablation can be selected if applicable. Typically, an endoscope is inserted through the nose to expose the nasopharynx under direct vision. The adenoid is gradually removed along its surface, and secretions are cleared with suction. Common practices include hemostasis using electrocoagulation, packing, or other methods, while protecting surrounding structures as much as possible. Postoperative monitoring focuses on airway patency, bleeding, and pain, with the goal of relieving obstruction and promoting recovery. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
