Adenoidectomy

Adenoidectomy is a quick, safe procedure to remove enlarged adenoids, small glands located at the back of the nose. They can become chronically swollen, leading to blocked nasal passages, snoring, and frequent ear or sinus infections.

When is it needed?
Adenoidectomy may be recommended if your child has:

• Persistent nasal blockage or mouth breathing

• Loud snoring or disturbed sleep

• Frequent ear infections or glue ear

• Ongoing sinus infections

The procedure
Performed under general anaesthesia, the surgery takes 20–30 minutes. The adenoids are removed through the mouth—no cuts or stitches are required. Many children go home the same day, often combined with tonsillectomy or grommet insertion if needed.

Benefits

• Clearer nasal breathing

• Fewer ear and sinus infections

• Better sleep quality

• Improved speech and swallowing

Recovery
Most children recover in 1–2 weeks with simple aftercare, including rest, soft foods, and plenty of fluids.
