Why remove adenoids?
Swollen adenoids can significantly affect quality of life. By obstructing the nasal passages, they promote :
- Respiratory problems: mouth breathing, snoring, sleep apnea.
- Chronic infections: recurrent ear infections, sinusitis.
- Sleep disorders: difficulty falling asleep, waking up at night, bedwetting.
- Voice disorders: nasal voice, articulation difficulties.
Removing vegetations restores normal nasal breathing and significantly improves overall health.
Etiological factors in adenoid hypertrophy
Adenoids are small tissues located behind the nose. When they enlarge, they can cause problems such as difficulty breathing through the nose, snoring and frequent infections.
Adenoid hypertrophy is a complex, multifactorial phenomenon. The main causes identified are :
- Recurrent infections: Bacterial angina, recurrent rhinopharyngitis and serous otitis can cause the adenoids to swell as they try to fight off microbes.
- Respiratory allergies: allergies to pollen, dust mites or other irritants can cause chronic inflammation of the adenoids.
- Gastro-oesophageal reflux: pharyngeal micro-aspirations.
- Anatomical factors: deviated nasal septum, large adenoids from birth.
- Environmental factors: air pollution, cigarette smoke or certain chemicals can irritate the respiratory tract and stimulate the growth of vegetations.
Immune factors: immunoglobulin deficiency, common variable immunodeficiency syndrome.
Adenoidal hypertrophy treatment in Turkey
The treatment of adenoidal hypertrophy depends on the cause and the symptoms it causes.
In the first instance, medical treatments may be offered to relieve the symptoms:
- Antibiotics: for bacterial infections.
- Corticosteroids: to reduce inflammation.
- Antihistamines: if allergies are involved.
If medical treatment is not enough, or if there are complications, surgery (adenoidectomy) to remove the adenoids may be considered.
Procedure for adenoidectomy in Turkey
Adenoidectomy, or removal of the adenoids, is a common and safe surgical procedure, often performed in Turkey.
Preparing for surgery
A preliminary consultation with an ENT specialist allows us to assess your child's condition, explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.
As with all surgical procedures, fasting is generally required before the operation.
The operation phase
For your child's comfort, the operation is performed under general anesthesia. Your child will be completely asleep for the duration of the operation (15 to 20 minutes).
During the operation, the surgeon uses a special instrument to remove the adenoids through the mouth, leaving no visible scars.
Post-operative phase
Your child will receive medication to relieve any pain. Slight bleeding is common and completely normal.
For the first few days, it's best to offer soft, easy-to-swallow foods.
In most cases, your child will be able to go home the same day or the day after the operation.
A few days' rest are recommended before resuming normal activities. A return to school is generally possible about a week after the operation.
Don't hesitate to ask your doctor any questions you may have in Turkey. He or she will guide you through the procedure and reassure you that it will go smoothly.
Complications and recovery
Although adenoidectomy is a common and generally uncomplicated procedure, it's important to be aware of possible side effects. The most common are slight bleeding and discomfort when swallowing, which disappear rapidly with treatment. In rare cases, infection may occur, but this is easily treated with antibiotics.
Most children recover quickly and completely from the procedure. A slightly nasal voice and difficulty breathing through the nose may persist for a few days, but gradually subside.
