How is pediatric adenoidal hypertrophy surgery performed?

  The basic procedure of surgery for pediatric adenoid hypertrophy: The first step is general anesthesia. Because children are too young to cooperate with the surgeon, general anesthesia is generally used for all surgeries in young children.  Secondly, adenoids surgery in ENT is performed through the pharyngeal cavity, with the use of endoscope, and all adenoids are ablated with a low temperature plasma radiofrequency tip under full visualization. During the procedure, an absorbable hemostatic material is applied to the surgical wound to stop the bleeding instantly, making the operation almost “bloodless”.  For the second- and third-degree hypertrophic tonsils, the low-temperature plasma tip is used to ablate all or most of the tonsils.  Finally, postoperative analgesia is used to provide a quiet and comfortable recovery for the child.
