Informacje o zabiegu
Adenotonsillectomy is a treatment of adenoid hypertrophy removal with simultaneous tonsils incision. It is performed after the hypertrophy of tonsils is confirmed by a specialist in laryngology. The hypertrophy of tonsils is often accompanied by chronic otitis media with effusion. The cause is the pressure on ear trumpet – natural canal that ensures pressure balance between the throat and middle ear. This leads to excessive fluid accumulation in the tympanic cavity and consequently leads to hearing loss. This is a very uncomfortable situation for the patient. The preferred treatment in this case is a combination of adenotonsillectomy and tympanostomy. It is usually performed under general anaesthesia. This is symptomatic but also causal treatment. When the tympanic membrane is drained, the patient’s hearing improves almost immediately. The general condition is also improved significantly. During surgery, the cause of otitis media with effusion – hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil – is removed. The Eustachian tube is unblocked by cutting out the overgrown lymphatic tissue. This has a positive effect on further treatment of the middle ear. After the procedure, patients are subjected to specialist observations for several hours. Sometimes they require longer hospitalization.
