ADENOIDECTOMY SURGERY
Adenoidectomy or adenoid removal is the surgical procedure to remove adenoid tissue. Among the most common conditions treated with it are snoring, mouth breathing, recurrent colds, and nasal obstructions, most often in children, but sometimes in adults as well. Usually, an adenoidectomy is performed along with a tonsillectomy under general anesthesia. It takes around 30 to 45 minutes to complete an adenoidectomy, but if it is done along with tonsillectomy, the surgery may last longer. A nasopharyngeal adenoidectomy prevents recurrent sinus infections and helps with breathing. Moreover, the coblation technique used for adenoidectomy ensures a safer and more complete removal of the adenoid tissue with minimal pain and bleeding.
TONSILLECTOMY SURGERY
A tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the tonsils, two oval-shaped pads of tissue located behind the throat – one tonsil on each side. Tonsillectomy used to be a common procedure for treating infections and inflammation of the tonsils. Today, tonsillectomy is most often performed to treat sleep-disordered breathing, but it may still be used to cure tonsillitis when other treatments fail to cure it. A tonsillectomy may also be necessary to treat breathing problems due to enlarged tonsils and to treat rare diseases of the tonsils. The recovery period for a tonsillectomy is usually between 10 and two weeks.
Microlaryngeal SURGERY
Microlaryngeal surgery involves removing benign cysts or granulomas in the larynx using a minimally invasive procedure. This procedure is usually performed in order to correct voice disorders or to diagnose or treat laryngeal cancer. While microscopic voice surgery is often performed on an outpatient basis, general anesthesia minimizes the danger of gagging and breathing difficulties. Most patients who undergo microlaryngeal surgery recover more quickly than those who undergo more traditional laryngeal surgery. Moreover, they have superior voice quality.
