Tonsillectomy, Adenoidectomy with Nasal Turbinate Reduction Procedure
A tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, 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, 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, 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, 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
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.
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.
