[The evolution of adenoidectomy]
Abstract:
The critical analysis of publications concerning methods designed for the surgical treatment of adenoids is presented. Various surgical techniques are considered with special reference to their indications for use, invasiveness, effectiveness, and safety. Recent developments in this field give evidence that evolution of adenoidectomy brought about highly efficacious (up to 99%) mini-invasive and safe surgical procedures producing the minimal risk of relapses and postoperative complications. All these advancements became possible due to the introduction of endoscopic intraoperative control, general anesthesia, and the use of modern surgical instruments. Modern approaches make unnecessary radical removal of the lymphoid tissue.
