Why a Child Needs Adenoidectomy (Adenoids Removal Surgery)?

Adenoidectomy | Adenoids Removal Surgery | Adenoidectomy surgery cost in Hyderabad

Chronically infected, enlarged and swollen adenoids are removed by adenoidectomy. The surgery is mostly done for small children between ages one and seven years. In grown-up children and teenagers, adenoids shrink on its own and gradually disappear. Adenoids, if present in adults are considered vestigial.

Enlarged or swollen adenoids can cause breathing problems in children by blocking their nasal passages and airways. They even lead to ear infections and other complications – which would eventually lead to recurrent snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

Adenoiditis is also associated with nasal congestion, chronic nasal drainage and sinus infections. Long-tern nasal drainage, chronic fluid in the ear and recurrent ear infections may result in temporary hearing loss.

What is Adenoidectomy?

Adenoids are a pair of glands located above the roof of the mouth. The surgery to remove adenoids is known as adenoidectomy.

What Are Adenoids?

Adenoids are small glands or lumps of tissue located above the roof of the mouth. They perform certain essential functions in young children. Adenoids usually protect children’s body from bacteria and viruses as they are an essential part of the immune system. Adenoids are almost absent in teenagers as they gradually begin to shrink around age 5 to 7 years. However, adenoids if present in adults is usually considered as vestigial.

In children, though adenoids provide protective function, they tend to become chronically infected, swollen and enlarge. This could be due to allergies, infections or maybe other reasons. In some children, adenoids are abnormally large by birth.

What are the Symptoms of Enlarged Adenoids?

The symptoms associated with enlarged adenoids are mostly due to blocked airways and include the following:

  • Breathing difficulty
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Mouth breathing
  • Snoring
  • Sleep apnea (obstructive sleep apnea involves periodic breaks in breathing during sleep)
  • Sore throat
  • Recurrent ear infections
  • Swollen adenoids cause repeated middle ear infections, and clogged eustachian tubes – which may lead to serious problems, such as hearing loss and speech problems.

Indications for Adenoidectomy

ENLARGED ADENOIDS-Recurrent throat infections cause adenoids to enlarge; this leads to blockage of eustachian tubes.

  • Obstructive sleep apnea (Adenoidectomy combined with Tonsillectomy)
  • Chronic infections
  • Recurrent earaches
  • When swollen adenoids don’t respond to antibiotic treatments
  • When adenoid infection occurs more than five or six times per year

Surgery to remove the glands (Adenoidectomy) is often needed. Removing them has not been shown to affect a child’s ability to fight infections.
