Adenoidectomy Procedure
An adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the adenoid glands from the throat. This procedure may become necessary if the adenoids are swollen or enlarged due to an allergy or infection. If left untreated, this can lead to various health concerns including congestion, nasal drainage, and sleep apnea.
This procedure is typically performed on children but is an option for adults as well. Although adenoids are part of the immune system, removing them does not result in a weakened immune system. This procedure is very effective in treating symptoms that do not go away with time.
¿Cuando es necesario este procedimiento?
Oftentimes, swollen adenoids shrink with time and do not require removal. However, in the case they are causing painful symptoms, an adenoidectomy may be considered. It can be difficult to determine when and if surgery is necessary. Therefore, it is very important to consult with your doctor so they can offer an informed opinion.
Patients may consider an adenoidectomy if:
- Experimentan dificultad para respirar.
- They have recurring sinus and ear infections
- They have developed sleep apnea

Preparación para el procedimiento
Los pacientes serán sometidos a anestesia general para garantizar su comodidad durante todo el procedimiento. Es importante seguir todas las instrucciones proporcionadas por su médico para garantizar una cirugía exitosa.
During the procedure, the surgeon will place a tool in the mouth to keep it open throughout. They will then remove the adenoid glands using a small instrument. The surgeon may use a material to stop any bleeding after the removal.
After the procedure, the patient will be taken off the anesthesia. On average, recovery takes about a week, but it can take longer. Patients may experience symptoms in the days following including nausea, vomiting, fever, bad breath, and pain. The doctor will provide pain medication to ensure the patient is comfortable during the recovery process.
