Informacje o zabiegu
Adenoidectomy and paracentesis are surgical procedures performed in laryngology. Adenoidectomy consists in adenoid removal (called third tonsil). The indications for this surgery are: hypertrophy of adenoid stated by the specialist, which lasts for a long time and causes disturbance of the patient’s everyday life. The patient complains about sleep apnea, sleepless nights, snoring, and specific speech. Sometimes there is a characteristic face expression. Adenoid hypertrophy may also cause otitis media with effusion. These structures are connected with each other by the Eustachian tube. The oversized adenoid masses by pressing on it cause ear disease. In order to confirm this diagnosis, it is necessary to perform paracentesis – puncture of tympanic membrane to remove pathological secretions in the middle ear. This treatment is performed through the external auditory canal using a special sharp meringot. Adenoidectomy with paracentesis is performed under general anaesthesia. Qualified anesthesiologists conduct medical interview and perform additional tests (blood group markings, etc.). The patient should be fasted before the procedure. After the operation it is recommended to relax, reduce physical effort. Patients should also eat a light, liquid or semi-liquid diet for the first few days, avoiding hot and spicy meals.
