Tonsillectomy Adenoidectomy, Ear Tubes and Nasal Turbinate Reduction Procedure
A tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, ear tubes, and nasal turbinate reduction are three surgical procedures that are often performed in conjunction with one another. These procedures are commonly performed to treat serious ENT conditions including sleep apnea, chronic sinusitis, allergies, and difficulty breathing. Together, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, ear tubes, and nasal turbinate reduction can help patients experience significant relief from their chronic symptoms.
These ENT procedures are most commonly performed on children who suffer from recurring ear, nose, and throat infections. Once diagnosed with an ENT condition, the surgeon will typically first recommend various conservative treatments before having patients consider surgery.
When is this Procedure Necessary?
Patients may consider a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, ear tubes, and nasal turbinate reduction procedure if their tonsils and adenoid glands are swollen, and the turbinates are causing difficulty breathing. If patients will benefit from all three procedures, doctors will often suggest that patients undergo them all for the best results.
Patients may consider a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, ear tubes, and nasal turbinate reduction procedure if:
- Their tonsils and adenoids are enlarged.
- They suffer from recurring infections.
- They struggle to breathe through the nose.
- The patient suffers from chronic snoring.
Although there are a few telltale signs a patient needs surgery, the best way to know is to visit your doctor. They will be able to provide recommendations based on diagnostic testing and the patient’s overall health.

What To Expect
Patients will be placed under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. It is important to follow all instructions your doctor provides to ensure a successful surgery.
A tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy procedure is performed through the patient’s mouth, and the surgeon will use small instruments to carefully remove the adenoid glands and the tonsils. During the nasal turbinate reduction portion of the procedure, the surgeon will use laser light or radiofrequency energy to shrink the turbinate. This portion of the procedure is performed through the nose, meaning that incisions are unnecessary. Ear tube insertion is a surgical procedure performed to treat chronic middle ear infections and reduce fluid buildup behind the eardrum. The procedure involves inserting a small tube into the eardrum to allow better ventilation and drainage of fluids.
Patients typically experience discomfort, swelling, and bleeding immediately after surgery. This should go away in the days following, but it can be managed through pain medications and other therapies. It is very important for patients to closely follow all postoperative instructions for a speedy and safe recovery.
