Pediatric Adenoidectomy

Pediatric adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the adenoids, small tissues located behind the nose that can become enlarged and cause problems. In children, enlarged adenoids can lead to breathing difficulties, frequent ear infections, or sleep apnea. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts about 30 minutes. Recovery time is generally quick, with most children returning to normal activities within a week. This procedure can significantly improve a child's quality of life by reducing symptoms and improving breathing and sleep.
