How Adenoidectomy/Adenotonsillectomy is performed
Under general anesthesia, the pharynx and nasopharynx are accessed orally. The adenoids are removed and hemostasis achieved under endoscopic or indirect vision using curettage, microdebriders, or plasma, etc. The tonsils are treated simultaneously if necessary, and pathology is sent for examination.
