Revisiting conventional adenoidectomy using technology

The palatine tonsils, nasopharyngeal tonsil (or) adenoids, lingual tonsils, tubal tonsils and lateral pharyngeal band form the Waldeyer’s ring and are part of the mucosaassociated lymphoid tissue (MALT) system. Tonsils and adenoids are the body’s first line of defense for the protection of the lower airways and the gastrointestinal tract as well as for the development of antigenic memory by the host. Adenoidectomy (alone or in association with tonsillectomy) is one of the oldest and most common ENT procedures performed in children. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy, obstructive sleep apnoea, otitis media with effusion, recurrent otitis media and nasal obstruction remain the most common indications for adenoidectomy.
