What is Adenoidectomy?

Adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the adenoids. They may be removed for several reasons, including impaired breathing through the nose and chronic infections or earaches. The surgery is common. It is most often done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Post-operative pain is generally minimal and prevented with an abundance of icy or cold foods.

Spicy foods, such as jalapeños or curries, should be avoided. The procedure can sometimes be combined with a tonsillectomy if needed.

Recovery time can range from several hours to two or three days (though as age increases so does recovery time).
