Abstract

Adenoid hypertrophy is a well-known cause of nasal obstruction and recurrent otitis media with effusion in
chidren. Adenoidectomy with or without other surgical procedurse such as tonsillectomy or tympanostomy
tube insertion is a commonly performed treatment for adenoid hypertrophy. In conventional procedure for
adenoidectomy, an adenotome or adenoid curette is used to removal the adenoid tissue. Many modifications of
this basic procedure have also been reported. Endoscopic equipment is common used in sinus surgery because
the endoscope allows the operation to be performed under direct visualization. Microdebrider equipment is also
used in sinus surgery. In this paper, we introduce a combined method of conventional and endoscopic
microdebrider-assisted adenoidectomy for adenoid vegetation. Using this techinque, adenoid tissue can be
removed completely without damage to other structures under the direct visualization. With proper use of this
method, the patency of the nasopharynx and the ofifice of the eustachian tube can be established.
