Overview of Adenoidectomy
The process of surgical removal of the infected adenoids is known as Adenoidectomy. Adenoids are situated at the back of the palate (roof of the mouth). Adenoids are lymph tissues serving the purpose of catching microbes passing through the nasal passage and mouth. Adenoids need to be removed surgically in case of inflammation and swelling. The inflammation of adenoids (adenoiditis) can lead to sinusitis or sleep apnea. Adenoidectomy is the most-suitable alternative when all the medications or remedies fail to work.
