Summary

This prospective study is designed to compare short and long term results of conventional cold curettage adenoidectomy in children performed without doing any endoscopic or mirror examination before ending the operation versus when combined with transoral endoscopic residue ablation using a wand.

Detailed description

Residual or recurrent adenoid tissue that causes persistence or recurrence of symptoms is observed frequently after conventional cold curettage adenoidectomy. New techniques to better visualize or excise the tissue in order to prevent this situation are being developed. This study aims to compare transoral endoscopic controlled adenoidectomy with conventional blind curettage adenoidectomy in terms of recurrent adenoid hypertrophy. Although there are other studies comparing the results of the two techniques in terms of early residual adenoid tissue and bleeding, no studies comparing the long term results were found in literature. This prospective study is planned to focus on both early examination of residual tissue and long term recurrence.

Conditions

• Adenoid Hypertrophy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Curettage adenoidectomy with transoral endoscopic ablation	Transoral endoscopic examination of nasopharynx at the end of cold curettage adenoidectomy, and, if found, ablation of residual tissue.
PROCEDURE	Conventional cold curettage adenoidectomy	Conventional cold curettage adenoidectomy without endoscopic examination for residual tissue.
