Introduction

Endoscopic video-assisted powered adenoidectomy, commonly known as microdebrider adenoidectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the adenoids. It employs an endoscope for visualization and a microdebrider, a specialized surgical tool, to precisely and efficiently remove adenoid tissue.

Indications

• Chronic or recurrent adenoiditis (frequent infections).
• Obstructive sleep apnea caused by enlarged adenoids.
• Chronic nasal obstruction or mouth breathing.
• Persistent middle ear infections or effusions related to enlarged adenoids.
• Sinusitis caused by adenoid hypertrophy.
