Endoscopic adenotonsillotomy
Removal of enlarged adenoids and reduction of the volume of the palatine tonsils using endoscopic equipment.
Adenoids and palatine tonsils are part of the lymphoepithelial nasopharyngeal ring. In some cases, they may increase in volume, which leads to impaired nasal breathing, snoring, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and hearing loss.
Before adenotonsillotomy, it is necessary to consult with an otorhinolaryngologist and an anesthesiologist Perform general blood and urine tests Undergo electrocardiography
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The doctor inserts an endoscope through the patient's nasal passage to examine the adenoid tissue. Then, using an adenotome, the doctor completely removes the adenoids and partially removes the tonsils, avoiding damage to the surrounding tissues. The duration of the procedure is usually less than an hour.
To perform an adenotonsillotomy, the following methods are used: Endoscope for visualization Surgical instruments (scalpels, forceps, coagulators) Anesthetic equipment Equipment for stopping bleeding (electrocoagulants, solutions)
After the procedure, the patient spends 1-2 days in the hospital for observation. In the early days, it is recommended to follow a mild diet, avoid physical activity and regularly visit a doctor to monitor the condition. It is important to follow the doctor's recommendations regarding diet, medication and wound care. The patient may be prescribed antibiotics and analgesics.
