Patient's question:
Little boy, three and a half years old, with adenoid hypertrophy and tonsil hypertrophy (degree 2). The results were checked two days ago, and treatment has not yet been started. How is adenoid hypertrophy removed?Doctor's answer:
The basic process of surgery for pediatric adenoid hypertrophy: First, general anesthesia is used. Since young children cannot cooperate with the doctor's treatment, general anesthesia is typically employed for all surgeries on young children. Next, through the pharyngeal cavity, with the help of an endoscope, the adenoid is completely ablated using a low-temperature plasma radiofrequency electrode under full visual guidance. During the surgery, absorbable hemostatic materials are applied to the surgical site to stop bleeding instantly, achieving almost "bloodless" operation. Finally, postoperative pain relief is provided to help the child reach a calm and comfortable recovery state.
