How Adenoidectomy/Tonsillectomy is performed
Under general anesthesia and airway protection, the pharynx is often exposed with an oral retractor. The tonsils can be removed extracapsularly or intracapsularly using cold instruments, electrocoagulation, or plasma. Subsequently, the adenoid is removed via nasal endoscopy. Common practices include thorough hemostasis and clearing of secretions to ensure airway patency. Early postoperative monitoring focuses on bleeding, pain, and fluid intake. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
