Any surgery has potential risks. The risks of adenoid hypertrophy surgery are relatively small, but they do exist, mainly including: anesthesia accident, bleeding, pharyngeal tube damage, mucous membrane damage and so on.
1. Anesthesia accident: adenoid hypertrophy surgery requires general anesthesia, if the anesthesia is too much or the patient has an allergic reaction to the anesthesia, it will lead to skin symptoms, tracheal spasms and even cardiac apnea and other symptoms.
2. Bleeding: For patients with coagulation disorders, surgical treatment should be considered with caution, in addition, if the operation damages the important blood vessels, it will also lead to massive bleeding.
3. Eustachian tube damage: the eustachian tube is close to the adenoids, so it is easy to hurt the eustachian tube channel, and the scar formation will make the eustachian tube narrow or even close, which will lead to hearing loss, tympanic effusion, tinnitus and other symptoms, and in severe cases, even lead to secretory otitis media.
4. Mucous membrane injury: the operation of instruments during the surgery may lead to mucous membrane injury in the mouth and throat.
