Frequently Asked Questions

What are adenoids, and why might adenoid surgery be necessary?

Adenoids are small glands located at the back of the throat, near the nasal passages. They play a role in the immune system, helping to trap bacteria and viruses that enter the body through the nose. Adenoid surgery may be necessary if the adenoids become enlarged or infected, leading to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chronic congestion, recurrent ear infections, or sleep disturbances.

How is adenoid surgery performed?

Adenoid surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, either as an outpatient procedure or with a short hospital stay. During the surgery, the adenoids are removed using specialized instruments, often through the mouth with no external incisions. Our skilled ENT surgeons utilize advanced techniques to ensure a safe and effective procedure with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

What can I expect during the recovery period after adenoid surgery?

The recovery period following adenoid surgery varies from person to person but generally involves mild discomfort, throat soreness, and congestion for a few days. It’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon, including rest, hydration, pain management, and avoiding strenuous activities. Most individuals can resume normal activities within a week after surgery.

Are there any risks or complications associated with adenoid surgery?

Adenoid surgery is considered a safe procedure with minimal risks. However, as with any surgery, there is a small risk of complications, such as bleeding, infection, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. Our experienced surgical team takes every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure a successful outcome for every patient.

Can adenoid surgery improve symptoms of sleep apnea or snoring?

In some cases, adenoid surgery may help alleviate symptoms of sleep apnea or snoring, particularly if enlarged adenoids contribute to airway obstruction during sleep. However, the effectiveness of adenoid surgery in treating sleep-related breathing disorders depends on various factors, and a thorough evaluation by a qualified ENT specialist is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
