This study presents a novel adenoid resection technique combining monopolar diathermy and suction for a minimally invasive procedure. The method ensures a clear surgical view, minimal blood loss, and a very low risk of postoperative bleeding.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Adenoid hypertrophy is a common condition requiring surgical intervention.
  • Traditional adenoidectomy techniques can be associated with significant bleeding and limited visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for adenoid resection using monopolar diathermy and suction.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique in terms of blood loss and postoperative hemorrhage.

Main Methods:

  • A combined approach utilizing monopolar diathermy for tissue coagulation and suction for removal.
  • Use of a mirror to ensure complete visualization of the resection field.
  • Controlled resection of adenoid tissue.

Main Results:

  • The technique allows for a near bloodless surgical field.
  • Minimal blood loss was observed during the procedure.
  • The postoperative hemorrhage rate was found to be extremely low.

Conclusions:

  • This combined monopolar diathermy and suction technique offers a safe and effective method for adenoid resection.
  • The technique facilitates excellent visualization and minimizes complications such as bleeding.
